This book provides a thorough examination of the nature and origin of our visual perception of space, encompassing relative direction, magnitude, and depth. The author melds the history of the subject, from the intuitionist Berkeley to the physiologist Helmholtz, with recent studies in physiological optics to delineate the factors at play in our construction of space through vision. Through an investigation of both the discriminative local sensibility of the retina and the movements of the eye, the author deftly unravels the processes by which we perceive the position and distance of objects in our environment. This book is an indispensable resource for students of perception, and its insights into the nature of visual space make it a valuable addition to any library dedicated to the study of sensory experience.
