It seems to be self-evident that through perception we gain access
to the material world. That visual perception takes an important
role seems self-evident as well. But what exactly do we see? The
objects themselves or just their perceptible properties? How do we
manage to see something at all? Are we capable of seeing solely
through optical and physiological processes or does viewing
something asks for presupposed terms in order to help us to see
something as something?These questions, currently discussed at
great length within the framework of cognitive and epistemological
theory, were already cause for intensive debate in the early modern
times. In many aspects, those discussions in the 17th and 18th
century laid the groundwork for todaya (TM)s theories: on one hand,
they identified the problems with great clarity and on the other,
they provided strategies for possible solutions which are still of
value today. This volume will provide new access to those debates
(from Descartes to Reid) and will present these debates to an
audience interested in philosophical questions. The book shows that
the early modern times is not just a respectable museum in the
history of philosophy, but on the contrary, a very productive and
stimulating philosophical epoch which invites further discussion.
