Description
John V. Kulvicki explores the nature of representation in this thought-provoking introduction to the philosophy of images.
The book examines how images can be a source of knowledge, and whether they are merely conventional signs like words. It also discusses the relationship between the observer and the observed, as well as the role of images in scientific discovery and understanding mental imagery.
With clear explanations and analysis, Kulvicki assesses central problems in the philosophy of images, including how objects we make come to represent other things. The book includes chapter summaries, annotated further reading, and a glossary for added reference.
