Does Property-Perception Entail the Content View
Visual perception is widely taken to present properties such as redness, roundness, and so on. This in turn might be thought to give rise to accuracy conditions for experience, and so content, regardless of which metaphysical view of perception one endorses. An influential version of this argument —Susanna Siegel’s ‘Argument from Appearing’ — aims to establish the existence of content as common ground between representational and relational views…
Potential scale of industrial outputs of the bronze bell casting industry in 500 BCE China
The potential scale of industrial outputs in the ancient world is often underestimated in current archaeological studies due to the lack of surviving artifacts for validation of the production scale. However, production traces left on extant artifacts can help us reconstruct production methods, and thus reveal the potential scale of production outputs of certain industries, even although there may not be a sufficient number of existing artifacts …
The Auditory Field
It is widely accepted that there is a visual field, but the analogous notion of an auditory field is rejected by many philosophers on the grounds that the metaphysics or phenomenology of audition lack the necessary spatial structure. In this paper, I argue that many of the common objections to the existence of an auditory field are misguided and that, contrary to a tradition of philosophical scepticism about the spatiality of auditory experience,…
Windows on Time
Each of our sensory modalities — vision, touch, taste, etc. — works on a slightly different timescale, with differing temporal resolutions and processing lag. This raises the question of how, or indeed whether, these sensory streams are co-ordinated or ‘bound’ into a coherent multisensory experience of the perceptual ‘now’. In this paper I evaluate one account of how temporal binding is achieved: the temporal windows hypothesis , concluding that,…
Individuating the senses of ‘smell’
The Cosmopolitan Creative-Intellectual
The focus of this article is Paul Robeson’s creative ideal (aesthetic). Though there is much literature that discusses the creative accomplishments and social activism of Robeson, with much agreement on his importance to the Africana intellectual history, a comprehensive discussion on his creative ideal, that is, his conception of beauty, creativity, and expression, has yet to emerge in the current literature. The absence of such a discussion rep…
Reid's Direct Realism and Visible Figure
In his account of visual perception, Thomas Reid describes visible figure as both ‘real and external’ to the eye and as the ‘immediate object of sight’. These claims appear to conflict with Reid's direct realism, since if the ‘immediate’ object of vision is also its direct object, then sight would be perceptually indirect due to the role of visible figure as a perceptual intermediary. I argue that this apparent threat to Reid's direct realism may…
Imaging and Imagining the Cosmos
This article explores Africana philosophy and praxis, more specifically the African creative ideal and production. It mines earlier discussions on ancient African creative production for themes, memes, and essential principles, categorizing them for usefulness to discuss Africana creative production. Its overarching purpose is to discuss an Afrocentric framework that calls attention to how the ancients imaged and imagined the cosmos using aspects…
Veil and Veneer of Intellectual Aesthetics
This article examines Imani Perry’s explanation of the African creation and development of hip hop music. Through the lens of critical theory, she argues in her book Prophets of the Hood that hip hop is primarily African American in its aesthetic values even though it has embraced and absorbed the views, values, and practices of the dominant ruling class and culture. The premise of her book is valid and Perry largely provides a useful text that a…
Shedj-her-kek em Maa-aku-neferu
This article examines the findings of a shedj-her-kek analysis of select text in the corpus of DuBois's writings on creative matters. It defines shedj-her-kek — a heuristic concept derived and developed from kemetic lexicon and Dogon episteme—“as a multileveled reading and afrocentric analysis that illuminates and clarifies latent ideas and assumptions within both verbal text and nonverbal forms.” Using new Africological (Africana) terminology, t…
