12. Knowledge Sources / C. Rationalism / 1. Rationalism

1726	We may think when we wish, but not perceive, because universals are within the mind [Aristotle]
	Full Idea: Perception is of particular things, but knowledge is of universals, which are in a way in the soul itself. Thus a man may think whenever he wishes, but not perceive.
	From: Aristotle (De Anima [c.329 BCE], 417b22)
