{"id":3019,"count":33,"description":"Perception is the process of sensing and interpreting the world through the body\u2014sight, sound, touch, smell, memory, all entangled. It is not passive reception but active construction. Philosophers like Merleau-Ponty stressed that perception is embodied, always from a position, never from nowhere. What we perceive is shaped by culture, habit, and power as much as by the senses. Perception is therefore unstable, contested, political and can not reveal an object in their entirety, no matter the method of observation.","link":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/topics\/concepts-theories\/perception\/","name":"Perception","slug":"perception","taxonomy":"topics","parent":2786,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/3019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/topics"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/2786"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?topics=3019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
