The philosophy of perception is concerned with the nature of perceptual experience and the status of perceptual data, in particular how they relate to beliefs about, or knowledge of, the world.〔cf. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/perception-episprob/ BonJour, Laurence (2007): "Epistemological Problems of Perception." ''Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy'', accessed 1.9.2010.〕 Any explicit account of perception requires a commitment to one of a variety of ontological or metaphysical views. Philosophers distinguish internalist accounts, which assume that perceptions of objects, and knowledge or beliefs about them, are aspects of an individual's mind, and externalist accounts, which state that they constitute real aspects of the world external to the individual.〔 The position of naïve realism—the 'everyday' impression of physical objects constituting what is perceived—is to some extent contradicted by the occurrence of perceptual illusions and hallucinations〔cf. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/perception-problem/ Crane, Tim (2005): "The Problem of Perception." ''Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy'', accessed 1.9.2010; Drestske, Fred (1999): "Perception." In: Robert Audi, ''The Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy'', Second Edition, Cambridge, Mass.: Cambridge University Press, pp. 654–658, here p. 656.〕 and the relativity of perceptual experience〔 as well as certain insights in science.〔cf. Alva Noe (2006): Perception. In: Sahotra Sarkar/Jessica Pfeifer (Eds.), ''The Philosophy of Science: An Encyclopedia'', New York: Routledge, pp. 545–550, here p. 546 ff.〕 Realist conceptions include phenomenalism and direct and indirect realism. Anti-realist conceptions include idealism and skepticism.〔 ==Categories of perception== We may categorize perception as ''internal'' or ''external''. * Internal perception (proprioception) tells us what is going on in our bodies; where our limbs are, whether we are sitting or standing, whether we are depressed, hungry, tired and so forth. * External or ''Sensory'' perception (exteroception), tells us about the world outside our bodies. Using our senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste, we perceive colors, sounds, textures, etc. of the world at large. There is a growing body of knowledge of the mechanics of sensory processes in cognitive psychology. * Mixed internal and external perception (e.g., emotion and certain moods) tells us about what is going on in our bodies and about the perceived cause of our bodily perceptions. The philosophy of perception is mainly concerned with exteroception. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philosophy of perception」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
