Pictorial representation is one of the core questions in aesthetics and philosophy of art. What is a picture? How do pictures represent things? This collection of specially commissioned chapters examines the influential thesis that the core of pictorial representation is not resemblance but 'seeing-in', in particular as found in the work of Richard Wollheim. We can see a passing cloud as a rabbit, but we also see a rabbit in the clouds. 'Seeing-in' is an imaginative act of the kind employed by Leonardo's pupils when he told them to see what they could - for example, battle scenes - in a wall of cracked plaster. This collection examines the idea of 'seeing-in' as it appears primarily in the work of Wollheim but also its origins in the work of Wittgenstein. An international roster of contributors examine topics such as the contrast between seeing-in and seeing-as; whether or in what sense Wollheim can be thought of as borrowing from Wittgenstein; the idea that all perception is conceptual or propositional; the metaphor of figure and ground and its relation to the notion of 'two-foldedness'; the importance in art of emotion and the imagination. Wollheim, Wittgenstein and Pictorial Representation: Seeing-as and Seeing-in is essential reading for students and scholars of aesthetics and philosophy of art, and also of interest to those in related subjects such as philosophy of mind and art theory.

Das Urteil uber die letzten Jahrzehnte in der Philosophy of Mind ist durchaus ein gemischtes. Das Gefuhl, dass die jeweiligen Theorieansatze etwas verfehlen, das entscheidend fur das Verstandnis des menschlichen Geistes ist, ist den meisten resumierenden Befunden gemein: stehen doch die Anstrengungen, den gedanklichen "Bezug" auf die Welt zu erklaren, am Ende genau vor dem als Resultat, was ursprunglich vermieden werden sollte: die Reduktion des propositionalen Gehalts von Gedanken auf deren subjektive oder objektive Grundlagen. Eben deswegen soll in dieser Arbeit nicht bei einer kritischen Beurteilung der in den letzten Jahrzehnten in der Philosophy of Mind angestrebten Erklarungen menschlichen Handelns und Denkens stehengeblieben werden. Vielmehr sollen die Anliegen, aus denen heraus die Frage nach dem Verhaltnis des Geistes zur Welt gestellt wird, aufgedeckt werden. Der Nachvollzug der besonderen Erklarungsansatze von Intentionalitat ware so auch fruchtbar gemacht fur UEberlegungen, unter welchen Bedingungen allein sich der Bereich des Psychischen untersuchen lasst.
