Description
Historical analysis reveals that perceptual theories and models are doomed to relatively short lives. The most popular contemporary theories
in perceptual science do not have as wide an acceptance among researchers as do some of those in other sciences. To understand these
difficulties, the authors of the present volume explore the conceptual and philosophical foundations of perceptual science. Based on
logical analyses of various problems, theories, and models, they offer a number of reasons for the current weakness of perceptual explanations.
New theoretical approaches are also proposed. At the end of each chapter, dicussants contribute to the conclusions by critically examining
the authors' ideas and analyses.
