Description
Perception presents key essays on the conceptual and theoretical problems in the study of vision. Written in an approachable style, this volume explores core issues in the theory of vision and sets up a dialogue among philosophers and psychologists past and present.
The collection provides historical background on important debates in the field, considers alternative accounts of sensory individuation, examines the controversy over direct versus indirect perception, and delves into the complexities of distinguishing between perception and conception. This thought-provoking work will appeal to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of perception's complex problems.
