Excerpt from An Analytical Study of Perception
The reflective study of perception has had a long and involved history, a history which extends, as we may suppose, far beyond the centuries of written record. For the obvious dependence of existence upon knowledge gained by the senses must have suggested one of the very earliest of all the human problems concerned with mind. The implication of mind, however, in the direct apprehension of present objects has not by any means restricted the study of perception to the psychologist. The philosopher, the logician, the anatomist, the physiologist, and the general student of life, as well as the psychologist, have derived problems frcm, and erected theories upon, the facts of perception. These facts have had their bearing upon the character, the trustworthiness, and the limitations of knowledg upon the substance of reality and the nature of truth, upon the construction and the Operations of the senses, and upon the mutual relations of the organism and its surroundings.
