The enactive approach to perception: an introduction -- Pictures in mind -- Enacting content -- Colors enacted -- Perspective in content -- Thought in experience -- Brain in mind: a conclusion.
"In Action in Perception, Noe argues that perception and perceptual consciousness depend on capacities for action and thought - that perception is a kind of thoughtful activity. Touch, not vision, should be our model for perception. Perception is not a process in the brain, but a kind of skillful activity of the body as a whole. We enact our perceptual experience. To perceive, according to this enactive approach to perception, is not merely to have sensations; it is to have sensations that we understand. In Action in Perception, Noe investigates the forms this understanding can take."--Jacket.
