Abstract:
If, as Gibson last proposed, we become aware (in the introspective attitude during visual perceiving) of the seen-now and the seen-from-here as such, there must occur not only outer awareness of these surfaces, but also a kind of inner awareness of certain of their experiential effects upon us. From Gibson's perspective, this conclusion would seem to mean that his ecological account must return, in this context, to visual sensations; or preferably it must include visual-perspectival appearances proceeding normally unnoticed in the stream of consciousness during visual perception of the environment.
