Excerpt from Theophrastus and the Greek Physiological Psychology Before Aristotle The Greek text of the De Sensions used and here repro duced is substantially that of Diels in his Doxogmpfzi Graeei, with such changes as he himself has made in those portions of it included in his Fragmente der Vorsokmtiker. Departures from the readings of Diels I have tried faithfully to indicate; but to a very few minor changes in punctua tion I have thought it unnecessary to draw attention. Nor in the translation have I carried through in stubborn consistency my general purpose to indicate by angular brackets, those English expressions that have no cor responding words in the Greek. I have omitted these marks when I felt that the occasion was very slight for troubling in this way the reader's eye.

As with Theophrastus' work on Metaphysics, this work is doxographical, quoting or summarizing previous philosophers' positions on the topic of aisthesis. He indicates how their positions are either contradictory and/or not probable. It's not always easy to gauge exactly what Theophrastus' position is, but you can tell which positions he rejects. A lot of the discussion focuses on hearing, sight, touch, taste, and smell. There is an interesting discussion regarding color near the end of the treatise. Since sense perception was tied to soul in Greek philosophy, there is some interesting portions relevant to that topic as well.
This book, like the previous book I read by him on Metaphysics, contains both the Greek on the left page and English translation on the right. George Malcolm Stratton provides a very helpful introduction and commentary on the text.
This is definitely a book worth reading and can be purchased for a reasonable price. Also, being an early treatment of psuche/aisthesis, it provides helpful background for later philosophers who explored this topic. (
