The contributors inquire into what activity is taken to mean in different theories, challenging traditional historical accounts of perception that stress the passivity of percipients in coming to know the external world. Special attention is paid to the psychological and physiological mechanisms of perception, rational and non-rational perception, and the role of awareness in the perceptual process. Perception has often been conceived as a process in which the passive aspects - such as the reception of sensory stimuli - were stressed and the active ones overlooked. However, during recent decades research in cognitive science and philosophy of mind has emphasized the activity of the subject in the process of sense perception, often associating this activity to the notions of attention and intentionality.  Although it is recognized that there are ancient roots to the view that perception is fundamentally active, the history remains largely unexplored. The book is directed to all those interested in contemporary debates in the fields of philosophy of mind and cognitive psychology who would like to become acquainted with the historical background of active perception, but for historical reliability the aim is to make no compromises. 410 0$aStudies in the History of Philosophy of Mind,$x1573-5834 ;$v14 606 $aEpistemology 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aPhilosophy of mind 606 $aCognitive psychology 606 $aEpistemology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E13000 606 $aHistory of Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E15000 606 $aPhilosophy of Mind$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E31000 606 $aCognitive Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20060 608 $aHistory.$2fast 608 $aGeschiedenis (vorm)$2gtt 615 0$aEpistemology. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aPhilosophy of mind. 615 0$aCognitive psychology. 615 14$aEpistemology. 615 24$aHistory of Philosophy. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Mind. 615 24$aCognitive Psychology. 676 $a120 702 $aSilva$b José Filipe$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aYrjönsuuri$b Mikko$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483780803321 996 $aActive Perception in the History of Philosophy$92845294 997 $aUNINA
