Preview The Philosophy of Perception: Phenomenology and Image Theory
Description:
Lambert Wiesing’s The Philosophy of Perception challenges current theories of perception. Instead of attempting to understand how a subject perceives the world, Wiesing uses phenomenology to advocate a change in current thinking. His original approach presents human perception, not as product of a subject, but as the main subject, revealing how perception enables us to identify ourselves within the world.While traditional approaches look at the conditions necessary for us to perceive, Weising asks and examines the consequences of perception: corporeality, visibility and public participation. These effects are described in phenomenological terms, providing a new and lucid description of the mental state of perceiving.Weisling’s methods represent a significant shift in perception theory, offering a comprehensive survey of the philosophy of images and enriching contemporary debates about the current state of perception theory. His original critical exposition presents scholars of phenomenology, perception and aesthetics with a new, important understanding of the old phenomenon, the human being in the world.
