Overview

Block’s influential work investigates one of philosophy’s most fundamental questions: where does seeing end and thinking begin? Bringing together decades of research in philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, Block argues that perceptual experience is richer and more detailed than previously assumed and cannot be reduced to conceptual thought alone.

• Modularity of Mind: Exploration of whether perception operates independently from belief and reasoning.
