Anti-Individualism and Perceptual Representation
Europe's Journal of Psychology December 5, 2014 Tyler Burge, Carlos Muñoz-suárez 1 citation
In an interview, Tyler Burge discusses perceptual anti-individualism, the view that the identity of many mental kinds depends on the creature's relations to the physical or social environment. He explains that this framework underpins his theory of perceptual representation and was implicitly assumed by perceptual psychology. Burge contrasts his approach with classic representational theories of perceptual experience, reductive theories of mental content, and theories of phenomenal consciousness, elaborating on the main tenets and philosophical underpinnings of his position.
