Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a deeply engaging exploration of the nature of vision and how we perceive the world around us. The author takes on the task of dismantling a long-held, seemingly unquestionable theory - that our perception of distance is not a direct product of our sight, but rather a learned association based on our experiences with touch and movement. This theory, championed by Bishop Berkeley, has been widely accepted for centuries, and the author skillfully argues against its validity. The author meticulously examines the fundamental principles of association and demonstrates how Berkeley's theory fails to meet even basic criteria. He argues that the supposed constant association between visual sensations and tactual perceptions is simply not borne out by experience, and that the very act of perceiving distance is a testament to the distinct capabilities of our visual system. The book delves into the role of memory in perceiving distance, showcasing how the act of remembering and judging distance through experience, rather than direct sensory input, undermines Berkeley's hypothesis. This is a book that will challenge your assumptions about how you see the world, and it offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex interplay between perception, experience, and the very nature of knowledge itself. The author's clear and compelling arguments will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the nature of sight and our relationship to the world around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
