Action In Perception by Alva Noë
The book argues that perception is not a passive, internal reconstruction of the world but an active, embodied skill: to perceive is to know how sensory stimulation would change as one moves, and this mastery of sensorimotor dependencies links mind and world. It challenges representational, head-bound accounts of perception and consciousness, emphasizing that perceptual experience depends on bodily activity, practical know-how, and engagement with the environment rather than on inner pictorial models or purely neural processes.
