Assoc. Prof. Daniel Heider has received Rector's Award

For the publication Aristotelian Subjectivism: Francisco Suárez’s Philosophy of Perception Assoc. Prof. Daniel Heider has received Rector's Award for a prestigious scientific publication.

Studies in the History of Philosophy of Mind Series, vol. 28, Springer, 2021

This monograph presents new material on Francisco Suárez’s comprehensive theory of sense perception. The core theme is perceptual intentionality in Suárez’s theory of the senses, external and internal, as presented in his Commentaria una cum quaestionibus in libros Aristotelis De anima published in 1621. The author targets the question of the multistage genesis of perceptual acts by considering the ontological “items” involved in the procession of sensory information. However, the structural issue is not left aside, and the nature of the relationship due to which our perceptions are mental representations of this or that object is also considered. 

The publication was published by a prestigious publishing house SPRINGER.
