This book explores how predictive processing, which argues that our
brains are constantly generating and updating hypotheses about our
external conditions, sheds new light on the nature of the mind. It
shows how it is similar to and expands other theoretical approaches
that emphasize the active role of the mind and its dynamic
function. Offering a complete guide to the philosophical and
empirical implications of predictive processing, contributors bring
perspectives from philosophy, neuroscience, and psychology.
Together, they explore the many philosophical applications of
predictive processing and its exciting potential across mental
health, cognitive science, neuroscience, and robotics. Presenting
an extensive and balanced overview of the subject, The Philosophy
and Science of Predictive Processing is a landmark volume within
philosophy of mind.
This volume addresses key questions related to how content in
thought is derived from perceptual experience. It includes chapters
that focus on single issues on perception and cognition, as well as
others that relate these issues to an important social construct
that involves both perceptual experience and cognitive activities:
aesthetics. While the volume includes many diverse views, several
prominent themes unite the individual essays: a challenge to the
notion of the discreet, and non-temporal, unit of perception, a
challenge to the traditional divide between perception and
cognition, and a challenge to the traditional divide between
unconscious and conscious intentionality. Additionally, the
chapters discuss the content of perceptual experience, the value of
traditional notions of content, disjunctivism, adverbialism, and
phenomenal experience. The final section of essays dealing with
perception and cognition in aesthetics features work in
experimental aesthetics and unique perspectives from artists and
gallerists working outside of philosophy. Perception, Cognition and
Aesthetics is a timely volume that offers a range of unique
perspectives on debates in philosophy of mind surrounding
perception and cognition. It will also appeal to scholars working
in aesthetics and art theory who are interested in the ways these
debates influence our understanding of art.
