{"product_id":"gorsel-dusunme","title":"Visual Thinking","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat makes this classic work different is that it challenges an established dogma by using some fundamental findings of perceptual psychology: According to this dogma, our eye is merely a sensory organ, and all we do with our sense of sight is collect visual data for our brain, which will later process, evaluate, and think about it. In this mechanical model, which has left its mark on both our everyday approaches and the entire history of science and philosophy, senses and thought are separated, even pitted against each other: Senses are misleading and unreliable unless processed by reason.\u003cbr\u003eArnheim's thesis exposes the inadequacy of this model; it argues that thinking arises simultaneously with seeing from the very beginning, that thinking is structurally dependent on our sense of sight to an almost pictorial degree, and that \"true thinking\" in the problem-solving sense, in all human artistic and scientific activities, always proceeds through the visual perception of space. With examples drawn from various fields of activity, from children's drawings to cosmic conceptions in the history of science, Arnheim explains how we perceive and how our thoughts are shaped by our senses and perceptions, suggesting that freeing ourselves from the false dichotomy established between sight and thought will bring fruitful developments in science and the arts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a culture like ours, which seems far from understanding the importance of visuality in education, can what is described here have any significance? The answer is before us. It means ceasing to treat art education as a mere hobby, understanding that visual education is not only about art, that training the eye means developing the creativity of thought, and that visuality is related not only to the arts but equally to the sciences of physics and mathematics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metis Yayıncılık","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39409050321091,"sku":"9789753425872","price":981.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/9789753425872.jpg?v=1616018392","url":"https:\/\/yemkitabevi.com\/en-us\/products\/gorsel-dusunme","provider":"YEM Kitabevi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
