n the Aristotelian view of the generic, species is defined as a distinct, classificatory term, while generic form is distinguished as a “preliminary step” to a “specific form.” This includes, for instance, the “perceptive faculty” as a “generic form” of human beings. It makes us into the tasting, smelling, hearing, seeing, and feeling be-ings that are generated in these perceptions, without this already being sufficient to define us as members of a specific species.The perceptive faculty as a generic form of the human being would therefore be what links humans with other animals, a common form of being-in-the-world as a concrete body. But we can alsodescribe the difference between the various forms of living beings with regard to their differently developed capacities.
