Conceptualized Direct Perception: A Hybrid Theory Of Vision, Jason L. Megill
Conceptualized Direct Perception: A Hybrid Theory Of Vision, Jason L. Megill
LSU Master's Theses
I formulate a hybrid theory of perception, one in which the mind’s interaction with the world is a more direct affair than many suppose (no perceptual mental representations, no sense data, no Cartesian Theater), but one in which our concepts also play a role. My claims have implications for philosophical attempts to understand perception, cognitive science theories of vision, debates over the nature of consciousness, and philosophical debates concerning Artificial Intelligence.
