the Construction of World UK Edition: Perception as a Cognitive Interface

The Construction of the World - Perception as a Cognitive Interface develops a systematic analysis of perception as a process of reality construction. >The Construction of the World - Perception as a Cognitive Interface develops a systematic analysis of perception as a process of reality construction.The volume examines the main contemporary theoretical models that describe perception not as passive registration of the world, but as inferential, predictive, and simulative activity.The main topics include: - critique of naïve realism, - philosophy of perception, - the brain as a generative system, - predictive processing, - the problem of access to reality, - cognitive interface theory, - reality as operational construction.The book integrates contributions from philosophy of mind and cognitive neuroscience, with explicit references to the work of: Immanuel Kant, Wilfrid Sellars, Hilary Putnam, Karl Friston, Andy Clark, Anil Seth, and Donald Hoffman.This volume constitutes the ontological foundation of the T-Reality Series and provides the theoretical framework for the analysis of neuro-cognitive, phenomenological, and operational processes developed in the subsequent volumes.The volume examines the main contemporary theoretical models that describe perception not as passive registration of the world, but as inferential, predictive, and simulative activity.The main topics include: - critique of naïve realism, - philosophy of perception, - the brain as a generative system, - predictive processing, - the problem of access to reality, - cognitive interface theory, - reality as operational construction.The book integrates contributions from philosophy of mind and cognitive neuroscience, with explicit references to the work of: Immanuel Kant, Wilfrid Sellars, Hilary Putnam, Karl Friston, Andy Clark, Anil Seth, and Donald Hoffman.This volume constitutes the ontological foundation of the T-Reality Series and provides the theoretical framework for the analysis of neuro-cognitive, phenomenological, and operational processes developed in the subsequent volumes.
