Action in perception
Book • 2004
Alva Noë's "Action in Perception" is a groundbreaking work in the philosophy of perception.
Noë challenges the traditional view that perception is a passive process of receiving sensory information, arguing instead that perception is an active process of skillful engagement with the world.
He emphasizes the role of the body and its actions in shaping our perceptual experiences.
Noë's work draws on insights from various fields, including neuroscience, psychology, and art, to develop a comprehensive account of perception.
The book has had a significant impact on the field of philosophy of mind, its ideas continue to be debated and discussed today.
