Adorno XIII 212
Intentio obliqua/Epicurus/Adorno: there is already in Epicurus, and this is Hellenistic and late antique - at least in a rudimentary form, the inquiry to the subject, to the knowing. We call it the intentio obliqua.
The moment of sensory perception is emphasized by Epicurus much more strongly than in Democritus; it is in him the sole and true source of knowledge, to which opposed is the mind which is supposed to be something derived, dependent and secondary.
