Résumé
In his paraphrase of the De anima Themistius provides an account ofAristotle’s doctrine of common sense that combines Alexander of Aphrodisias andPlotinus. The Aristotelian koine aisthesis is interpreted as the unifying power of anincorporeal pneuma that receives the information from the senses, the messengersof the soul. On the basis of this Plotinian tenet, Themistius describes the koine aisthesisas a spiritual power that unifies diverse and even opposite sensorial inputs, anddiscriminates between them. This interpretation of koine aisthesis was influential insubsequent Greek works on the De anima from late Antiquity (pseudo-Philoponus)to Byzantine times (Sophonias) and inspired Avicenna
