In this video, Dr. David M. Peña-Guzmán interviews Dr. Michael Madary (University of the Pacific) about his recent book Visual Phenomenology (MIT Press, 2016). They discuss the nature of visual experience and visual content, and talk about how different experts have conceptualized and modeled vision in the 20th and 21st centuries. Is vision a bottom-up process of perception, or is it a top-down phenomenon that blurs the distinction between perception and cognition? Do we really see what "is there", or is visual experience driven by our own predictions and expectations? Finally, how does a theory of vision grounded in phenomenology explain our visual experience of other people and thus the so-called "problem of other minds"?
