reality and the wild perceptions of humans. The Good Morrow demonstrates the human perception of the world through the imaginary telescope of love and sex. The Blazing World demonstrates the struggle to revolutionize scientific methods with particularly the invention of a physical telescope, against remediate views of the time, criticizing the invention. Love and technology thus, are two major themes of the works presented, deriving the key word that will be worth discussion, perception. John’…

All composers hold a mirror to what they consider to be the key aspects of their perception of our common humanity. Through Benh Zeitlin’s Beasts of the Southern Wild, Cormac McCarthy’s The Road and Julian Barnes’ The Sense of an Ending, it is apparent that each composer perceives our common humanity in a different light. These compositions are set in a time nearing the end of life as humankind apprehends it to be, thus creating high levels of uncertainty and unrest within society. It is under…

journey mankind must overcome to reach enlightenment. However, this allegory of enlightenment could be debated. This story is just one philosopher’s perception, assumptions, predisposition. What if Plato’s allegory is only of his ideal…

proving them to himself satisfactorily. In this act of demolition and reconstruction, Descartes felt it would be a waste of time to tear down each idea individually. Instead, he attacked what he considered the very foundation: the idea that sense perception conveys accurate information. He developed several arguments to illustrate this point. In the Dream argument, Descartes argues that he often dreams of things that…

Descartes is concerned with the uncertainty of knowledge. When we see, feel, hear, and touch the things around us, we think that they are real. Nevertheless, however real something may seem, Descartes suggests that there is no way we can actually know whether or not it exists (without the help of God). Moreover, there needs to be some kind of proof that our ideas and sense-created images of the world actually depict what exists in reality, if we want to have any certainty of it. Descartes…

“Perception is the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information so that it makes sense” (King, 2016, pg. 97). The perception of the bird with its connection to water “makes sense.” The kingfisher is living, therefore it needs water to drink and to bathe in. The color coding of the bird’s feathers is in a unique order that makes the perception of the bird real. Although the water splash is powerful, the distraction…

Perception is defined as the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses. Although this definition is very straightforward, there can be many different interpretations on a subject which leads to controversy, resulting in an altered perception of something. For example, two people may look at a work of art and perceive it in completely different ways. This contrast is good for viewers so that they can gain further insight about an artwork, and become more open-minded on…

themselves to other people, they look at certain qualities and skills that the others may possess. When examining these qualities and skills, they can only experience their perception of the comparison. The perception of the comparison is either negative or positive based on skills or qualities they lack. When the perception of the comparison is negative, emotions like envy develop. Envy is that common emotion they may experience towards the other person (Jordan & Chalder, 2013). Social…

both of which are interactive installations visitors can both view and experience if they so choose. For this reason, “the work must not be understood as an object but as a platform of interaction”. Thus, Holler’s intention to change the viewers’ perception of both his art and the world surrounding them is clear. For example, Holler’s piece Test Site, installed at Tate Modern in…
