Description
Bringing together phenomenology and materialism, two perspectives seemingly at odds with each other, leading international theorist, Manuel DeLanda, has created an entirely new theory of visual perception.
Engaging the scientific disciplines of biology, ecological psychology, neuroscience, and robotics, the philosophical notion of 'the embodied mind', and the mathematical theories of dynamic systems, Materialist Phenomenology forms a synthesis of how to see in the 21st century.
This work is a transdisciplinary and rigorous analysis of how vision shapes what matters.
