Abstract: | According to ratiomorphic theories of perception every visual phenomenon would be the result of unconscious inferences through which the visual system, starting from a set of axioms and premises, reaches certain conclusions (which constitute actually the visual phenomena) by a process analogous to a reasoning process. The author presents some examples from the area of amodal completion which, according to him, hardly support a ratiomorphic theory. Instead they constitute counterexamples that rather support the hypothesis that seeing and thinking function according to different rules. |
