This book explores a central question in the study of depth
perception - 'does the visual system rely upon objective knowledge
and subjective meaning to specify visual depth?' Linton advances an
alternative interpretation to the generally accepted affirmative
answer, according to which many of the apparent contributions of
knowledge and meaning to depth perception are better understood as
contributions to our post-perceptual cognition of depth. In order
to defend this position a new account of visual cognition is
required, as well as a better understanding of the optical and
physiological cues to depth.
