The Perception Of The Visual World by James J. Gibson
This seminal work delves into the intricacies of how humans perceive their visual environment, challenging traditional theories by proposing that perception is a direct, unmediated process. It emphasizes the importance of the environment's affordances, suggesting that perception is not merely a passive reception of sensory data but an active process of interaction with the world.
