{"product_id":"perception-tyler-burge-9780198871002","title":"Perception: First Form of Mind","description":"In \u003cem\u003ePerception: First Form of Mind\u003c\/em\u003e, Tyler Burge develops an understanding of the most primitive type of mental representational: perception. Focusing on the functions and capacities of perceptual states, Burge accounts for their representational content and structure, and develops a formal semantics for them. The discussion explains the role of iconic format in the structure. It also situates the accounts of content, structure, and semantics within scientific explanations of perceptual-state formation, emphasizing formation of perceptual categorization. In the book's second half, Burge discusses what a perceptual system is. Exploration of relations between perception and other primitive capacities-conation, attention, memory, anticipation, affect, learning, and imagining-helps distinguish perceiving, with its associated capacities, from thinking, with its associated capacities. Drawing mainly on vision science, not introspection, \u003cem\u003ePerception: First Form of Mind\u003c\/em\u003e is a rigorous, agenda-setting work in philosophy of perception and philosophy of science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tyler Burge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198871007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198871002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.84h x 6.97w x 1.88d","brand":"Tyler Burge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43994598736127,"sku":"9780198871002","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c04312eb-35ff-42cb-873d-7fa0f9c70606.jpg?v=1683331104","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perception-tyler-burge-9780198871002","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
