The Cognitive Architecture of Perception
| Juan Vázquez 2014 Putting forward an original analysis of percmvmg as a cognitive attitude, as it contrasts with judging, believing and knowing, the author approaches several issues in the philosophy of perception, such as differences between presentation and representation, the natures of concepts and categorization, the justification of perceptual beliefs and their role in the justification of knowledge. Influenced by phenomenology and by psychology and neuroscience of vision, Juan Vazquez's view brought to Project Bounds of Judgement a standpoint from which to discuss perceptual disjunctivism, our reference position for work in the field. The present volume is a joint outcome of Portuguese and Spanish projects The Bounds of Judgement - Frege, cognitive agents and human thinkers (PTDC/FIL-FIL/109882/2009) and Cognitive Attitudes and the Justification of Knowledge (FFI2009-08828) (Principal Investigators: Sofia Miguens - University of Porto and Concha Martinez - University of Santiago de Compostela). |
