内容説明
Cognitive neuroscience is a young field that has been successful in furthering our understanding of the human brain. Long before the emergence of this field, many of the same questions being posed within the field were asked by philosophers. So how much of this earlier work informs current theories of cognition? In many cases - too little. Yet how can we ignore thousands of years of philosophical thinking on the human mind? There are some questions about the human brain that are surely impossible to answer without considering what it "feels" like to see, what it "feels" like to think. "Ways of Seeing" is a collaboration between a philosopher and a neuroscientist. It focuses on one of the most basic human functions - vision. Its emphasis is on the dual systems theory hypothesis: the theory that two separate visual systems operate within the brain - one connected to consciousness, one independent of consciousness. It brings together electrophysiological studies, neuropsychology, psychophysics, cognitive psychology and philosophy of mind.

内容説明
Ways of seeing is a book about human vision. It results from the collaboration between a world famous cognitive neuroscientist and an eminent philosopher. In the past forty years, cognitive neuroscience has made many startling discoveries about the human brain, and about the human visual system in particular. This book brings many recent empirical findings, from electrophysiological recordings in animals, the neuropsychological examination of human
patients, psychophysics, and developmental cognitive psychology, to bear on questions traditionally addressed by philosophers. What is the meaning of the English verb 'to see'? How does visual perception yield knowledge of the world? How does visual perception relate to thought? What is the role of conscious
visual experience in visually guided actions? How does seeing actions relate to seeing objects? In the process the book provides a new assessment of the 'two visual systems' hypothesis, according to which the human visual system comprises two anatomical pathways with separable visual functions. The first truly interdisciplinary book about human vision, it will be of interest to students and researchers in many areas of cognitive science and the philosophy of mind.
