the Construction of World: Perception as a Cognitive Interface

The Construction of the World - Perception as a Cognitive Interface develops a systematic analysis of perception as a process of reality construction.Volume 3 of the T-Reality Series - Ontological DomainThe volume examines the main contemporary theoretical models that describe perception not as passive registration of the world, but as inferential, predictive, and simulative activity.The main topics include: - critique of naïve realism, - philosophy of perception, - the brain as a generative system, - predictive processing, - the problem of access to reality, - cognitive interface theory, - reality as operational construction.The book integrates contributions from philosophy of mind and cognitive neuroscience, with explicit references to the work of: Immanuel Kant, Wilfrid Sellars, Hilary Putnam, Karl Friston, Andy Clark, Anil Seth, and Donald Hoffman.This volume constitutes the ontological foundation of the T-Reality Series and provides the theoretical framework for the analysis of neuro-cognitive, phenomenological, and operational processes developed in the subsequent volumes.
