Abstract
I argue that the actuality perception consists of can be described as a certain type of movement and alteration, formally understood, which from the viewpoint of its content, obtains the configuration of a continuous succession of sensible forms. To show that, an analysis of perceptive experience is carried out, thus exhibiting its internal structure and the relevant determinations that specify the way in which this is temporally conformed. At the light of such temporally oriented analysis of perceptive experience, precisely awareness of time reveals itself as a fundamental moment in the psychological theory of perception in Aristotle.Keywords:
