Molyneux's Question by M.J. Morgan
A concise exploration of a famous philosophical thought experiment about whether a person born blind who gains sight could visually recognize objects previously known only by touch, tracing the debate from its historical origins through modern experimental and neuroscientific investigations; the book surveys philosophical arguments, clinical case studies of sight restoration, and laboratory research on multisensory perception and plasticity, arguing that empirical work—while showing limited immediate cross-modal recognition—reveals rapid learning and important consequences for theories of perception, cognition, and the development of sensory knowledge.
