A seminal argument in this vein can be found in Aristotle's De Anima, the second book (II 5–12), where five proper sensibles and five sensory organs are distinguished in correspondence with the five types of sense-impressions we routinely receive, and in the third book (III 1), where this list is put forward as being exhaustive." /> Sense-perception and self-awareness - Kaukua Jari; Kukkonen Taneli | sdvig press
