Inhaltsangabe

Discover how our senses build knowledge of the world. A clear, accessible guide through perception, judgment, and the birth of concepts.

In How We Know: The science of perception, judgment, and the emergence of concepts, the author explains how sensation forms the basis of our ideas. It describes how taste, smell, touch, and other senses work together to recognize kinds, and how judgments grow from memory, comparison, and verification. The text presents a practical view of how measurements, concepts, and reasoning intertwine to produce knowledge about objects and their properties. You’ll explore ideas about substrates, the five classific properties, and how consciousness, judgment, and cognition interact. The work connects ancient philosophic questions to modern science, showing how perception leads to concepts and how science tests those ideas through observation and experimentation.

• How perception combines multiple senses to identify the properties of objects
• How judgments are formed, stored, and recalled to generate new knowledge
• How verification works through repetition, comparison, and experimentation
• How the book distinguishes between sensation, perception, and concept formation
