Images and Truth
In Stefano Maso Francesca G. Masi, Epicurus on eidola. Peri Phuseos Book II. Update, Proposals, and Discussions. Hakkert. pp. 67-92 (2015)
Abstract
The new edition of the papiri of the second book of 'Peri Phuseos' allows for a detailed reconstruction of the mechanisms of vision. Some of the characteristic features of images according to Epicurus are presented here for the first time. One of the problems is the congruence between the representation and the object from which it originates: i.e. the truth of the image.Author's Profile
