This book offers a provocative, clear and rigorously argued account of the nature of perception and its role in the production of knowledge. Walter Hopp argues that perceptual experiences do not have conceptual content, and that what makes them play a distinctive epistemic role is not the features which they share with beliefs, but something that in fact sets them radically apart. He explains that the reason-giving relation between experiences and beliefs is what Edmund Husserl called 'fulfilment' - in which we find something to be as we think it to be. His book covers a wide range of central topics in contemporary philosophy of mind, epistemology and traditional phenomenology. It is essential reading for contemporary analytic philosophers of mind and phenomenologists alike.

Patterns of Perception: Preferred Pathways to Genius
Peter Fritz Walter

'Patterns of Perception: Preferred Pathways to Genius (Scholarly Articles, Vol. 16)'-2017 Revised, Updated and Reformatted Edition-deals with an important topic both for science and spirituality: direct perception. How do humans perceive reality? Is there something like a universal reality, one that is valid for all of us, or is reality always personal? And how does the memory surface work? Is our school system the right one, or do we have to implement fundamental changes so as to mold our school system after the way our brain learns? Would that not be the most intelligent way of doing it? The author tried to answer these questions in this essay, taking reference to Eastern spiritual traditions as well as Western scientific thinking, with a special focus upon Herbert James Campbell's neurological research on preferred pathways and the pleasure function, as well as Edward de Bono's remarkable research about the nature of the human memory surface. What became clear after general brain research and the special focus upon preferred pathways was the rather astounding coincidence between these scientific findings about super-effective whole-brain learning and associatively linked memorization patterns, on one hand, and the way geniuses learn, as it's documented by biographical genius and polymath research, on the other. Information can be found, for example, through biographical research on the lives and almost miraculous learning capacities of Leonardo da Vinci, Giordano Bruno, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Albert Einstein and many others. And this then leads to the insight that there is about nothing less effective in terms of learning output than our current mainstream school system, as it virtually suffocates the human brain and besides, invalidates and impairs the right-brain hemisphere, which leads to the result that we face worldwide millions if not billions of deficient thinkers. The book comes with an extended contextual Bibliography.

Processed Reality: Pitfalls of Perception and the Cosmic Mind

'Processed Reality: Pitfalls of Perception and the Cosmic Mind' (Scholarly Articles, Vol. 21), 2017, provides a systematic elaboration of all possible distortions of the direct perception of reality, and the various factors or pitfalls that bring about this distortion. Among them are factors that are related to the nature of the memory matrix, but also outside factors such as spiritual, ideological and emotional pitfalls. The perhaps most important part of the study is the chapter on 'The Myths of Worldwide Democracy' where the author unveils one by one the current myths of postmodern international consumer culture. These myths form the underlying basis of the masses' credo in a new form of pseudo-spiritual salvation that is cunningly weaved around a prosperity vocabulary, quick wealth formulas, the promise of the beneficial actions of multinational corporations and worldwide communication, and last not least the pretended liberalism and protective thinking in the education of children. The essay reveals by and by what is behind the beautiful fa ade: the hard reality of lies, systematic manipulation and political cover-up, stringent emotional and sexual misery of our youth, an almost total ecological, systemic and spiritual myopia and an immense amount of structural violence that begins to suffocate us with the ever-increasing prison miles and mental hospitals built for those who disagree with the general mindwash and whitewash of global political, social and economic realities. While the most recent ideological promise of total freedom is surely a more joyful plot than the Church's Inquisition a millennium ago, it is based on exactly the same lies and fairy tales, the same projections, the same reductionist agenda of fascist values that intrinsically deny complexity and holistic thinking, reducing life and living to the consumption of products that are industrially manufactured and marketed worldwide by multinational corporations. The worldwide consumer reality as the author unveils it in this essay is based on facts: it is the raising impoverishment of the poor and the third world, a decreasing quality in education and the alarming fact that global problems are becoming merely administered instead of being at least half solved. To unveil these myths is one of the major tasks of every responsible citizen. The examples the author forwards are inspired by his experience as a law practitioner specialized on international law, criminal law and human rights. In the last chapter, entitled 'Creating Reality, ' the author demonstrates how to create your own reality and build a redundant immunity against the manipulatory messages of the global beast that could one day condense in a holocaust worse than Hitler's and all preceding massacres committed against lucid, non-judgmental humans. The violence potential of postmodern international consumer culture is surely much higher than any of the tyrannies we have suffered in the past, as it's global, technological, cunningly subtle, and a joint-cooperation of the political leaders of most of our very advanced Western democracies.

Descartes, Malebranche, and the Crisis of Perception

The seventeenth century witnesses the demise of two core doctrines in the theory of perception: naïve realism about color, sound, and other sensible qualities and the empirical theory, drawn from Alhacen and Roger Bacon, which underwrote it. This created a problem for seventeenth century philosophers: how is that we use qualities such as color, feel, and sound to locate objects in the world, even though these qualities are not real? Ejecting such sensible qualities from the mind-independent world at once makes for a cleaner ontology, since bodies can now be understood in purely geometrical terms, and spawns a variety of fascinating complications for the philosophy of perception. If sensible qualities are not part of the mind-independent world, just what are they, and what role, if any, do they play in our cognitive economy? We seemingly have to use color to visually experience objects. Do we do so by inferring size, shape, and motion from color? Or is it a purely automatic operation, accomplished by divine decree? This volume traces the debate over perceptual experience in early modern France, covering such figures as Antoine Arnauld, Robert Desgabets, and Pierre-Sylvain Régis alongside their better-known countrymen René Descartes and Nicolas Malebranche.

Dazzling dramas on American themes from the Nobel laureateOn a cold winter's day on the Dakota plains, Catherine Weldon receives a caller, Kicking Bear, bringing news of Indian rebellion. In the fort nearby, a tiny community splinters apart over how to react. In "Ghost Dance," first performed in 1989, Walcott turns a story with a foregone conclusion -- Sitting Bull and his Sioux followers will die at the hands of the Army and Indian agents -- into a portrait of life at a crossroads of American history. In "Walker," an opera first performed in 1992 and revised for its revival in 2001, Walcott shifts his attention east, taking for his subject David Walker, the nineteenth-century black abolitionist. In Walcott 's hands Walker becomes a classical hero for his people: a leader who is also a poet.
