The author shows how binocular vision was one of the key juncture points between the three concepts and readers will see how important it is to understand the approach that scholars once took. In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the concept of Perspectiva ? the Latin word for optics ? encompassed many areas of enquiry that had been viewed since antiquity as interconnected, but which afterwards were separated: optics was incorporated into the field of physics (i.e., physical and geometrical optics), vision came to be regarded as the sum of various psycho-physiological mechanisms involved in the way the eye operates (i.e., physiological optics and psychology of vision) and the word ?perspective? was reserved for the mathematical representation of the external world (i.e., linear perspective). The author shows how this division, which emerged as a result of the spread of the sciences in classical Europe, turns out to be an anachronism if we confront certain facts from the immediately preceding periods. It is essential to take into account the way medieval scholars posed the problem ? which included all facets of the Latin word perspectiva ? when exploring the events of this period. This book will appeal to a broad readership, from philosophers and historians of science, to those working in geometry, optics, ophthalmology and architecture. 410 0$aArchimedes, New Studies in the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology,$x1385-0180 ;$v47 606 $aHistory 606 $aPhilosophy and science 606 $aGeometry 606 $aOptics 606 $aElectrodynamics 606 $aOphthalmology 606 $aArchitecture 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aPhilosophy of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000 606 $aGeometry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21006 606 $aClassical Electrodynamics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21070 606 $aOphthalmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H44004 606 $aArchitectural History and Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K12008 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aPhilosophy and science. 615 0$aGeometry. 615 0$aOptics. 615 0$aElectrodynamics. 615 0$aOphthalmology. 615 0$aArchitecture. 615 14$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 615 24$aGeometry. 615 24$aClassical Electrodynamics. 615 24$aOphthalmology. 615 24$aArchitectural History and Theory. 676 $a612.84 700 $aRaynaud$b Dominique$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0755788 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254791803321 996 $aStudies on Binocular Vision$92204574 997 $aUNINA
