Lopes advances the theory that identifying pictures' subjects is akin to recognizing objects whose appearances have changed over time. He develops a schema for categorizing the different \u003cem\u003eways\u003c\/em\u003e pictures represent--the different kinds of meaning they have--and argues that that depiction's epistemic value lies in its representational diversity. He also offers a novel account of the phenomenology of pictorial experience, comparing pictures to visual prostheses like mirrors and binoculars.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51257409405151,"sku":"9780199272037","price":104.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/un9Y0VzeSP9780199272037.webp?v=1787547129"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/dominic-lopes.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
