Focusing on the functions and capacities of perceptual states, Burge accounts for their representational content and structure, and develops a formal semantics for them. The discussion explains the role of iconic format in the structure. It also situates the accounts of content, structure, and semantics within scientific explanations of perceptual-state formation, emphasizing formation of perceptual categorization. In the book's second half, Burge discusses what a perceptual system is. Exploration of relations between perception and other primitive capacities-conation, attention, memory, anticipation, affect, learning, and imagining-helps distinguish perceiving, with its associated capacities, from thinking, with its associated capacities. Drawing mainly on vision science, not introspection, \u003cem\u003ePerception: First Form of Mind\u003c\/em\u003e is a rigorous, agenda-setting work in philosophy of perception and philosophy of science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tyler Burge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.64h x 6.75w x 1.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198871019","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45463124410505,"sku":"9780198871019","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_f6ae6fcf-723e-483a-b44d-e84f0f9744b1.jpg?v=1774997552","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/perception-first-form-of-mind-9780198871019","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
