9781333795825: Observations on the Nature and Theory of Vision

Synopsis

This book challenges the long-held perception that humans see external objects and argues that the projections of light that fall on the retina are instead the direct and sole objects of vision. The author draws from both widely-held scientific principles and simple, common phenomena to demonstrate that the experience of sight is distinct from the perception of external objects, upending the idea that we see the world as it truly exists. This book takes an in-depth look at the relationship between what the eye sees and what the brain interprets, providing a valuable resource for those interested in the science of optics, human perception, and the philosophy of mind.
