The Judgement of the Eye - The Metamorphoses of Geometry - One of the Sources of Visual Perception and Consciousness (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2002)

Gestalt psychology, neurophysiology and the psychology of perception have tried to answer the question of whether we see forms as a whole or as the sum of their parts, why we perceive things as they are and not as they appear on the retina, which is in fact changed in perspective and in size, and which visual cortical areas and which neurons react to which phenomena. But the most important question for the author is which additional information the thing that is seen conveys. How do we tell the difference between a cheerful and a gloomy face? Why do we see that a bud will open shortly? Why do we find some phenomena to be dangerous and others to be desirable? These question have not yet been investigated in a systematic and scientific way, although they are of vital importance to our behaviour. Jürgen Weber brings together the results of various disciplines and his own research and experience as a sculptor and painter with a scientific background and develops a new theory of perception of form.
