Handbook of Experimental Phenomenology

Beschreibung

While the scientific study of vision is well-advanced, a universaltheory of qualitative visual appearances (texture, shape, colourand so on) is still lacking. This interdisciplinary handbookpresents the work of leading researchers around the world who havetaken up the challenge of defining and formalizing the field of'experimental phenomenology'. * Presents and discusses a new perspective in vision science, andformalizes a field of study that will become increasinglysignificant to researchers in visual science and beyond * The contributors are outstanding scholars in their fields withimpeccable academic credentials, including Jan J. Koenderink,Irving Biederman, Donald Hoffmann, Steven Zucker and NikosLogothetis * Divided into five parts: Linking Psychophysics and Qualities;Qualities in Space, Time and Motion; Appearances; Measurement andQualities; Science and Aesthetics of Appearances * Each chapter will have the same structure consisting of: topicoverview; historical roots; debate; new perspective; methods;results and recent developments

Systematic concern with visual appearances is as oldas modernscience but it has not been pursued with the consistency accordedto visual processing. Galileo interrogated appearances incontrast to the optical approach heralded in his day by Keplerand Scheiner. Now the study of appearances is enjoying arenaissance due in no small part to the novel techniques ofexperimental phenomenology so clearly expounded in this book. Its practitioners are neither unified in their methods nor in theirtheories but they do share dissatisfactions with analyses ofperception that sidestep the subjective dimensions which arefundamental features of our experience.--Nicholas Wade,Emeritus Professor, University of Dundee. This Handbook brings together a distinguished collection ofthinkers and researchers who address the subjective nature ofvisual perception as a science in its own right and who havedeveloped a variety of new methods and concepts to investigate it.This could become an important book that redresses the balance ofdiscussion and debate about what 'seeing' is, and its role in ourmental lives.--Mark Georgeson, Professor of VisionSciences, Aston University, Birmingham.
