Douglas Berger: What and How Do We Sense?
February 14, 2:30pm - 4:30pm
Mānoa Campus, Sakamaki Hall C-308
The Role of Imagination in Perception in Buddhist and NyÄya Thought.
This talk explores a fascinating and important debate between classical Indian Buddhist and NyÄya logicians about whether or not kalpanÄ or conceptual imagination plays a positive role in our sensory experience. I will argue, with NyÄya thinkers, that imagination may indeed enhance and articulate rather than confuse and falsify our perceptions and thereby help give us access to what is real, rather than merely project our own inclinations or habits into the world.
