Lectures on Perception by Michael T Turvey
This book addresses the generic principles by which each and every kind of life formfrom single celled organisms to multi-celled organismsperceives the circumstances of their living so that they can behave adaptively.Michael Turvey is the leading exponent of a physical biology of intentional systems for all creatures great and nanoIn these interwoven lectures, he charts a path to a thoroughly scientific psychology, grounded in philosophy, ecology, thermodynamics, and the theory of complex systems. Developed over the course of an esteemed career, Turvey’s radical vision (in the sense of going to the root) throws down the gauntlet for the next generation of students of perceiving, acting, and knowing.William H. Warren, Chancellor’s Professor of Cognitive Science, Brown University
