Abstract

The problem of perception is one of specifying correct and consistent meanings for the concepts we use in talking about it. The most frequent mistake in the history of this concept has been to "reduce" perception either to sensation or to judgment. With this in mind, the author deals primarily with the period from Descartes to Kant, though ancient, medieval, and contemporary developments are also treated.--R. H. K.
