Understanding Pictures argues that this diversity is the central fact with which a theory of figurative pictures must reckon. 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 ways 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":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51675994063136,"sku":"NEW0199272034","price":34.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71p6XsUBvFL.jpg?v=1779229779","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/understanding-pictures-oxford-philosophical-monographs-0199272034","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
