The Rationality of Perception
Siegel, Susanna (Edgar Pierce Professor of Philosophy, Edgar Pierce Professor of Philosophy, Harvard University)
There is an important division in the human mind between perception and reasoning. We reason from information that we have already, but perception is a means of taking in new information. Susanna Siegel argues that these two aspects of the mind become deeply intertwined when beliefs, fears, desires, or prejudice influence what we perceive.
