Abstract
In the Protagoras, Socrates lauds the ‘art of measurement’ as something that would enable us to distinguish larger from smaller things, no matter how near or remote, and would thereby ‘save our life’. As he so often does, Aristotle takes his inspiration from Plato and formulates a theoretically-sophisticated account of the phenomenon of common interest—in this case, of perspectival cognition. In this paper, I offer novel interpretation of a challenging passage within the De Memoria in which Aristotle sketches his account.
