To Feel and to Know: Two Sides of the Same Coin?

Abstract

In this ancient and fundamental problem, Plato saw feeling as having an opposite being by knowing through ideas and gave rise to the explanation of two worlds or two ways of thinking about being. Aristotle, for his part, focused the world through the explanation of movement, almost hiding the ontological problem. Antonio Rosmini, in Modernity, once again presented the implications of the Platonic approach, against a majority that explains the world by reducing it to a psychological perception.
