Gregoric
on Aristotle's Theory of Dreams
In
this lecture, Dr. Gregoric explans why Aristotle's is the very first scientific
theory of dreams. He gives a brief overview of Aristotle's theory of sleep and
dreams and then shows how Aristotle responds to three philosophical questions
concerning dreams: first, what can we learn from our dreams, if anything?
Second, why are we deceived by our dreams? Thrid, can we be sure, when in the
waking state, that we are not dreaming?
