How to build perceptions (in action)

The publication of the General Psychology course given at the Sorbonne there fifty years is a very good initiative: it will surprise pleasantly, as an unexpected resurgence, the survivors of these antediluvian psychology studies (before 68) and allow those who Simondon only know that the "mode of existence of technical objects" to find a whole other piece of his vast erudition and his reflections. (I prefer not to think about current apprentices psychologists apparently interested Simondon a group of philosophers, so much the better).
The course is divided into five parts of very unequal length:
I. (95 pages) The perception in Western thought: Antiquity, perceived as an instrument of knowledge (Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics and Epicureans), then the Classic period, perception as operation (Descartes, Spinoza, Hume, Kant ) and finally the modern theories of perception as function and effect (Maine de Biran, Bergson and experimental approaches and psychology of Form)
II (80 pages) Role and biological sense of perceptual function. Perception among the other functions of the organism, the physiological aspects of perceptual functions, and sensitivity (visual, auditory, static, touch, thermiqe, chemical, olfactory ..)
III (75 pages) Perception and information. The perception of moving, shape, space, duration
IV. (15 pages) Perception and affectivity importance of context effects and motivation
V. (10 pages) Perception and activity: practical consequences for human technology

there are chapters which we see immediately that they correspond to typical concerns Simondiennes (eg the last) but the whole of this course represents a synthesis absolutely huge, both on the philosophy that in consultation with the work of experimentalists and biologists .. until 1963. (drawings, sketches and graphs illustrating the phenomena studied are grouped into ten planks at the end);
