Omschrijving
Certain representations are bound in special ways to our sensory capacities. What do these representations have in common, and what makes them different from representations of other kinds? Dominic Gregory employs novel ideas on perceptual states and sensory perspectives to explain the special nature of distinctively sensory representations.
The aim of Dominic Gregory's Showing, Sensing, and Seeming is to see what can be gained by theorizing about these representations as a class. The book makes a convincing case that the answer is quite a lot. Clearly written and well argued, it offers a theory of distinctively sensory representations -- the first of its kind -- and then uses it to weigh in on a range of debates.
Rich and original.
Anyone interested in the question of how mental imagery is related to sensory experience will undoubtedly find Dominic Gregory's Showing, Sensing, and Seeming interesting and rich.
Gregory's book shows how fruitful it can be to approach well-known discussions -- such as those involving depiction, mental imagery, and picture perception -- from a wider perspective. Familiar problems can be seen under a new light once we recognize they are grounded in the common nature that represetnations share.
a thought-provoking, unified defence of a particular view about an impressively wide range of representations. Those interested in philosophical theories of imagery and pictorial representation, and in how those theories interact with emperical debates, could learn a lot by engaging with it.
a wonderfully engaging investigation of diverse topics. All philosophers interested in the divide between sensory and non-sensory representation will want to read this book.
a timely, insightful, and individual examination of the nature and contents of 'distinctively sensory representations' . . . the prose is clear and lively, with some nice touches of personality. The discussion ranges widely over literature in philosophy, psychology, and art history.
