Originally published in 1987, this title intended to historically
reveal, through tracing Gibson's development, the substance of his
views and how they bore upon general philosophical issues in
theories of knowledge, and to investigate in detail the historical
context of Gibson's theoretical position within psychology. Though
the author has included a history of Gibson's perceptual research
and experimentation, the focus is to explicate the 'dynamic
abstract form' of Gibson's ecological approach. His emphasis is
philosophical and theoretical, attempting to bring out the
direction Gibson was moving in and how such changes could
restructure the theoretical fabric of psychology. He devotes
considerable attention to the Greeks, Medievalists, and the
founders of the Scientific Revolution. This is because Gibson's
theoretical challenge runs deep into the structure of western
thought. The authors' central goal was to set Gibson's ecological
theory within the historical context of fundamental
philosophical-scientific issues.
