@fallot are you interested in perception at all

ive studied gestalt psychology a bit

I'm interested in perception, but like with other topics, I have my own take and understanding

this philosopher aron gurwitsch read both husserl and the empirical gestaltist like brentano/meinong/whoever

ok

and don't pursue any other perspectives unless they are burning bright

you should read brentano and meinong

I appreciate the recommendations

they are very philosophical but they are empirically based

but I will never read them

haha

what resources do you draw upon then

however I'll read your blog more

personal experience?

yeah I guess

and bits and pieces from here and there

wikipedia, blogs, various books I read by chance

or parts of books

ok do you mind if i post a short wiki article

feel free

like Haidt, I read his book

but I didn't need to

I got everything out of a video I watched of him

the book was great and I recommend it

but it didn't add to my understanding

this is lacan's theory of no-self

and narcissism

this is empirically false
