One of the issues raised in the discussion of the cognitive faculties, specifically under the five external senses, is the problem of the common sensibles. A common sensible refers to a kind of perceptible that is grasped by all, or at least some, of the external senses and is not exclusive to any single one of them. In De Anima, Aristotle, alongside his treatment of the proper sensibles of each sense, also pays attention to the common sensibles and discusses them under several headings: the nature of the common sensible, whether it is perceived essentially or accidentally, its mediated character, its instances, and the lack of necessity for an independent sensory faculty dedicated to it. Ibn Sina, in the Kitāb al-Shifāʾ (The Book of Healing), both modifies some of Aristotle’s discussions on the common sensibles and raises issues that Aristotle did not address. In explaining the nature of the common sensible, he refines Aristotle’s definition; regarding the question of whether it is perceived essentially or accidentally, he offers a more precise account of what counts as an essential percept; and in relation to its mediated character, he shows how this very mediation can be employed as proof of its essential nature. Moreover, he expands the range of instances of the common sensibles. Finally, concerning the independence of a separate sense faculty for perceiving the common sensibles, he presents a specific argument for the impossibility of such a faculty.
