Description
Constructing Experience investigates the fundamental question of how perception works by examining the roles of expectation and attention in shaping perceptual experience. Jason Clarke argues that perception is not a passive reception of sensory information but an active process in which our expectations about the world, guided by attention, play a crucial role in determining what we experience.
Drawing on contemporary cognitive science and philosophical analysis, Clarke explores how top-down processes interact with bottom-up sensory signals to construct our experience of reality. The book addresses key questions about the nature of perception, consciousness, and the mind’s role in organizing sensory information into coherent experience.
As part of Cambridge University Press’s Elements in Perception series, this volume provides an accessible yet rigorous treatment of these complex topics, suitable for students and researchers in philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and perception studies.
