ABSTRACT
Mesotis is not limited to the special senses but is also an essential characteristic of the common sense. Common sense possesses a mesotis which determines the operative range of sensibility with respect to the common sensibles. The range of intelligence is then between passive and active nous. The extraordinary thing about intelligence as a process is that as a going concern it matures and fulfils human beings through knowledge of the world and the acquisition of self-consciousness. All knowledge is ultimately dependent upon the relation between knowing subject and object known, which is, like all relations, true and due to the pluralistic character of all reality. The sounds produced by objects are contained between a contrariety whose extremities are the sharp and the grave. The contrariety detected in the faculty of common sense leads to the threshold of intelligence.
