Author: Robert Schwartz

These essays by Robert Schwartz on topics in the theory of vision are written from a pragmatic perspective. The issues and arguments will interest both philosophers and psychologists, covering new ground and bridging gaps between these disciplines. Schwartz begins historically, with discussions of problems raised and solutions offered in Bishop Berkeley's writings on vision, presenting Berkeley's views on spatial perception and the qualitative aspects of sensory experience in the context of recent theoretical and empirical work in vision theory. Schwartz then turns to debates in both the philosophical and psychological literature over the view that perception is inferential and thus "indirect." Critically surveying competing characterizations of the idea of "inferential processes" he argues the need either to reframe radically the question or drop the issue. Next, Schwartz discusses pictorial representation and research on picture perception. Drawing on the work of Nelson Goodman, Schwartz explains and defends the advantages of a symbolic approach to both topics. Finally, he examines the quagmires that often develop when metaphysical concerns about the "real" and our ability to perceive it infect discussions and claims in the theory of vision. After analyzing issues arising in current psychological research on "object" perception, Schwartz turns to debates over the supposed essential nature of colors. An appreciation of the empirical and theoretical work on color perception suggests that there is no single or privileged analysis of the notion of "real colors." Schwartz circles back in the end to what he calls "that old chestnut of the philosophy of perception" -- controversies over "the objects of perception" -- and takes an Austinian look at the topic.

Visual Versions 1st Table of contents:

  • Chapter 1: The New Theory of Vision Revisited: Berkeley and the Psychological Turn

    • (This chapter likely revisits Bishop Berkeley's historical contributions to the theory of vision, placing his ideas about spatial perception and sensory experience within the context of contemporary vision research.)
  • Chapter 2: Of Inferential Processes: The Dogma of Direct Perception

    • (Examines the long-standing philosophical and psychological debate about whether perception is an inferential process or direct. Schwartz critiques various characterizations of "inferential processes" in perception.)
  • Chapter 3: Pictures, Perception, and Problems: A Symbolic Approach

    • (Focuses on pictorial representation and how we perceive pictures. Drawing on the work of philosophers like Nelson Goodman, this chapter argues for a symbolic approach to understanding picture perception.)
  • Chapter 4: What is a Visual Object?: The Quagmires of 'Real' Perception

    • (Delves into the philosophical complexities surrounding "object perception," particularly the metaphysical concerns about what constitutes the "real" and how our ability to perceive it influences discussions in vision theory.)
  • Chapter 5: The Essential Nature of Colors: No Privilege Here

    • (Analyzes debates about the fundamental nature of colors. Schwartz argues that empirical and theoretical work on color perception suggests there isn't a single, privileged analysis of "real colors.")
  • Chapter 6: The Old Chestnut: What Are the Objects of Perception?

    • (Returns to a classic problem in the philosophy of perception: the nature of the "objects of perception," taking a fresh look at the controversies surrounding this topic.)
