This anthology translates eighteen papers by Italian philosopher
and experimental psychologist Paolo Bozzi (1930-2003), bringing his
distinctive and influential ideas to an English-speaking audience
for the first time. The papers cover a range of methodological and
experimental questions concerning the phenomenology of perception
and their theoretical implications, with each one followed by
commentary from leading international experts. In his laboratory
work, Bozzi investigated visual and auditory perception, such as
our responses to pendular motion and bodies in freefall,
afterimages, transparency effects, and grouping effects in dot
lattices and among sounds (musical notes). Reflecting on the
results of his enquiries against the background of traditional
approaches to experimentation in these fields, Bozzi took a unique
realist stance that challenges accepted approaches to perception,
arguing that experimental phenomenology is neither a science of the
perceptual process nor a science of the appearances; it is a
science of how things are. The writings collected here offer an
important resource for psychologists of perception and
philosophers, as well as for researchers in cognitive science.
