Abstract (en)

Author suggests that one of the functions of art may be to render us truly conscious that reality is wonderfully and mysteriously more rich and complex than we are led to believe on the basis of any finite set of perceptual modes. Finally, he explores the possibility that ways of perceiving the world constructed by scientists may have a place in the repertoire of art forms.
