ABSTRACT

In the first three lectures, we argued with respect to science,painting and philosophy that the transition from classical to modern was marked by what might be thought of as a reawak-

ening of the world of perception. We are once more learning

to see the world around us, the same world which we had

turned away from in the conviction that our senses had noth-

ing worthwhile to tell us, sure as we were that only strictly

objective knowledge was worth holding onto. We are redis-

covering our interest in the space in which we are situated.
