Lectures on Perception: An Ecological Perspective addresses the
generic principles by which each and every kind of life form-from
single celled organisms (e.g., difflugia) to multi-celled organisms
(e.g., primates)-perceives the circumstances of their living so
that they can behave adaptively. It focuses on the fundamental
ability that relates each and every organism to its surroundings,
namely, the ability to perceive things in the sense of how to get
about among them and what to do, or not to do, with them. The
book's core thesis breaks from the conventional interpretation of
perception as a form of abduction based on innate hypotheses and
acquired knowledge, and from the historical scientific focus on the
perceptual abilities of animals, most especially those abilities
ascribed to humankind. Specifically, it advances the thesis of
perception as a matter of laws and principles at nature's
ecological scale, and gives equal theoretical consideration to the
perceptual achievements of all of the classically defined
'kingdoms' of organisms-Archaea, Bacteria, Protoctista, Fungi,
Plantae, and Animalia.
