Description: This book should be of interest to all who seek for a meeting ground between science and humanities. Written by a scholar of humanist training, its temper is scientific. Present-day theories of visual perception, of information and of human knowledge are brought to bear on the history of political representation. Prof. Gombrich re-evaluates many current ideas on the imitation of nature, the function of tradition, the problem of abstraction, the validity of perspective and the interpretation of expression.
