μημων μ@ν@ήμων occur in Plato, ¬conf¬ see _Ast_. _Lexicon
Platonicum_, II. pp. 356–357. For ἀναμιμνήσκω and ἀνάμνησις cf. the

Touch and Taste according to A. reside in the heart. Sight, Sound, and

Footnote 11:
De Somno. 1. 454.
ἡ δὲ λεγομένη αἴσθησις ὡς ἐνέργεια κίνησίς τις διὰ τοῦ σώματος τῆς
ψυχῆς ἐστιν.
Footnote 12:
See Wallace; Aristotle’s Psychology, Introduction, pp. 93 & 94.
Footnote 13:
In other words, abstract ideas and the like are reproducible only so
far as they imply images.
Footnote 14:
Quoted from G. H. Lewes’s work on Aristotle, p. 257.
Footnote 15:
Συμβαίνουσι δ’ αἱ ἀναμνήσεις, ἐπειδὴ πέφυκεν ἡ κίνησις ἥδε γενέσθαι
μετὰ τήνδε.
This passage is obscure, but it is generally understood to refer to
the sequence of motions or the corresponding ideas, and this
interpretation agrees with the context. See Hamilton’s Edition of
Reid, pp. 892–893, and Themistius’ paraphrase of De Memoria, quoted by
Hamilton, p. 893–894; also Siebeck, Geschichte der Psychologie, Zweite
Abtheilung, p. 77; Grote’s Aristotle, p. 215; Grant’s Aristotle, p.
170; Wallace’s Aristotle’s Psychology, Introduction, p. 95.

Cf. Siebeck, Geschichte der Psychologie, Zweite Abtheilung, p. 77.

The Greek is as follows:
διὸ καὶ τὸ ἐφεξῆς θηρεύομεν νοήσαντες ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἢ ἄλλου τινὸς καὶ
αφ’ ὁμοίου, ἢ ἐναντίου, ἢ τοῦ σύνεγγυς διὰ τοῦτο γίνεται ἡ ἀνάμνησις.
αἱ γὰρ κινήσεις τούτων τῶν μὲν αἱ αὐταί, τῶν δ’ ἅμα, τῶν δὲ μέρος
ἔχουσιν ὥστε τὸ λοιπὸν μικρὸν ὃ ἐκινήθη μετ’ ἐκεῖνο.
