Titre de la soutenance : The boundaries of perception : a conceptual engineering perspective
Résumé :
This dissertation sheds light on perception as a scientific concept. According to my analysis, there are at least four different concepts of perception, each of which displaying some conceptual variation. I evaluate these concepts, and argue in favour of conceptual pluralism. This pluralism is part of a classical process commonly undergone by scientific concepts, i.e. conceptual fragmentation. Associated with an analysis of the metaphysical foundations for the boundaries of perception, I claim that ’perception’ is an organizational concept, whose main function is to guide, coordinate and integrate interdisciplinary research about the mind.
