Rethinking Perception: Ecological Insights

This chapter explores the complexities of perception, emphasizing how traditional theories often fall short in explaining the relationship between an organism and its environment. It highlights the significance of intentionality and goal-directed behavior, advocating for a holistic understanding of perception grounded in ecological psychology. Furthermore, the discussion critiques classical dualism and the limitations of Newtonian mechanics, proposing new frameworks that redefine our understanding of perception as a dynamic interaction with environments.
