In his work on sensibility (On Sense Perception - Περὶ αἰσθήσεων -) he compares Democritus and Plato’s theories. He states that while both Plato and Democritus separate sensibility and understanding, Democritus does not ascribe an objective status to perception, since it merely depends on the subject’s sensible modifications. In contrast, objectivity is provided by a principle (archē), which consists in indivisible elements that cannot be grasped through the senses, namely the atoms, which are objects of the understanding and have quantitative and measurable features such as their size, dimension and shape or ‘schema’ (Thphr. Sens. 65–66)." p. 26. _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ **See also**:
