504 _aIncludes bibliographical references and index.
520 _aPresents a critical review of theories in perceptual psychology, placing special emphasis on the perception of visual forms. The author reviews the state of current theory on how we see forms and works to establish the logical and mathematical limits of reductionism and theory. His work suggests that some of the goals of cognitive, neurophysiological and computational theorists, while useful in certain contexts, cannot be used for valid statements of the inner workings of the perceptual system.
