Lopes advances the theory that identifying pictures' subjects is akin to recognizing objects whose appearances have changed over time. He develops a schema for categorizing the different \u003cem\u003eways\u003c\/em\u003e pictures represent--the different kinds of meaning they have--and argues that that depiction's epistemic value lies in its representational diversity. He also offers a novel account of the phenomenology of pictorial experience, comparing pictures to visual prostheses like mirrors and binoculars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominic Lopes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199272034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199272037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.40w x 0.56d","brand":"Dominic Lopes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48457659777279,"sku":"9780199272037","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_24b04101-0519-4d44-a0b2-5ca1245866a8.jpg?v=1777400350","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-pictures-dominic-lopes-9780199272037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
