As images unwind - Hoorn
Ancient and modern theories of visual perception
KORTE INHOUD
This is a study in the history of visual perceptual theories from the pre-Socratics to Helmholtz. There are important chapters on Aristotle, Leonardo and Descartes, still valuable today.
The book starts with a methodological introduction about historiography in which the difference between presentism and historical contextualism is stressed. Progressive or Whiggish history writing is rejected.
