One can make sensory perceptual contact with the world: One sees the tree and hears its leaves flutter. And one makes cognitive contact with the world: One forms beliefs about the tree, memories of how it was in the past, and expectations of how it will be in the future. Can the first, perception, be influenced in important ways by the second, cognition? Do cognitive states such as memories, beliefs, and expectations affect what one perceives through the senses? And what is the importance of these possible relations to how we theorize and understand the human mind? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePossible cognitive influence on perception (sometimes called \"cognitive penetration of perception\") has been long debated in philosophy of mind and cognitive science: Some argue that such influence occurs, while others argue that it does not or cannot. In this excellent introduction and overview of the problem, Dustin Stokes examines the following: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe philosophical and scientific background to cognition and perception\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContemporary ways of distinguishing cognition and perception\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eQuestions about the representational content of perception versus cognition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDistinct theories of mental architecture: modularity versus malleability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsequences for epistemology, philosophy of science, and aesthetics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePhilosophical and scientific research on perceptual attention\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePerceptual skill, learning, and expertise\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePerceptual content, objectivity, and cultural bias.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdditional features, such as chapter summaries, suggestions for further reading, and a glossary, make \u003ci\u003eThinking and Perceiving\u003c\/i\u003e an ideal resource for students of philosophy of mind and psychology, cognitive psychology, and cognitive science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dustin Stokes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138729388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138729384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Dustin Stokes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087766860031,"sku":"9781138729384","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b8a3ce5-a8ef-4659-b2af-841e69a23a49.jpg?v=1769101284","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thinking-and-perceiving-dustin-stokes-9781138729384","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
