Introduction to the Philosophy of Being: A Contemporary Introduction

by George P. Klubertanz

The human intellect must begin with sensible things, and hence all principles must somehow be found in sense experience. The discovery of principles is an induction. But there is no danger of empiricism or sensism if we remember that point on which Aristotle and Aquinas were ready to stake their whole philosophy, namely, that sensible things are potentially intelligible. This means that sensible things can be understood as being.
