  • More about Sensation and Perception: A History of the Philosophy of Perception


Sensation and Perception, published in 1961, aims to understand the nature of perception by examining the concepts of sensation and perception. The author argues that perception has often been assimilated to sensation or judgment, but that an attention to the history of thought can provide an explanation for the temptation to accept these views. The book offers the author's own views on the nature of sensation and perception and is of interest to philosophers and psychologists.

First published in 1961, Sensation and Perception aims to shed light on the very nature of perception itself. The author believes that achieving this understanding can only be accomplished by grasping the concepts of sensation and perception. A comprehensive survey of the primary efforts to attain such an understanding reveals that perception has frequently been conflated with sensation or judgment. However, the author contends that both of these viewpoints are incorrect, but that a closer examination of the history of thought can offer an explanation for the inclination to embrace them. A final chapter presents the author's personal perspectives on the nature of sensation and perception, making it of interest to philosophers and psychologists alike who are concerned with the intricacies of perception.
