Ce que nous savons du monde extérieur, nous l'avons tiré d'informations qui nous sont parvenues filtrées par les organes des sens, digérées par des processus neuronaux développés au cours de l'évolution pour satisfaire aux exigences de la vie animale. La psychologie cognitive nous permet aujourd'hui de décrire aussi bien ce travail souterrain des sens, qui mène à la représentation consciente, que l'organisation de la mémoire. Jacques Ninio le fait avec bonheur, dans un style limpide et incisif. Texture, couleur, analyse des formes et de l'espace ; codage neuronal des mots, circulation de l'information dans le cerveau ; maturation des catégories perceptives et spécificité de l'intelligence humaine, comparée notamment à l'ordinateur - autant de sujets abordés ici, qui intéressent le psychologue éducateur comme le philosophe, le linguiste ou l'artiste. Jacques Ninio Biologiste, directeur de recherche au CNRS, a développé, à côté de ses travaux sur l'évolution et les reconnaissances moléculaires, une approche originale de la perception et de la mémoire humaines.

This is a book about sensory states and their apparent characteristics. It confronts a whole series of metaphysical and epistemological questions and presents an argument for type materialism: the view that sensory states are identical with the neural states with which they are correlated. According to type materialism, sensations are only possessed by human beings and members of related biological species; silicon-based androids cannot have sensations. The author rebuts several other rival theories (dualism, double aspect theory, eliminative materialism, functionalism), and explores a number of important issues: the forms and limits of introspective awareness of sensations, the semantic properties of sensory concepts, knowledge of other minds, and unity of consciousness. The book is a significant contribution to the philosophy of mind, and has much to say to psychologists and cognitive scientists.
