First published in 1983, Perception, Learning and the Self is a
collection of essays demonstrating the incompleteness of the
information-processing model in cognitive psychology and the
connection between epistemic factors and social conditions in the
making of the self. It is suggested that any framework employed to
view cognition must be an essentially social one, in which knowers
are seen as selves who are agents with feelings and attitudes.
Professor Hamlyn argues that, by failing to acknowledge this social
element, the information-processing model presents an overly
simplistic view of the systems that underlie cognition, and thus is
liable to distort what is at stake. Professor Hamlyn considers the
contributions of a number of major psychologists to this area of
study, including James Gibson, Jean Piaget and Sigmund Freud. This
book will be of interest to students of philosophy and psychology.
