Abstract

The theory of constructional perception is a new and innovative theory in the field of pragmatic perception-resembling in its requirements and implications traditional phronesis (practical wisdom)-which is finding new application and purposes. This theory provides a unique explanation of the formation of pragmatic human knowledge by mean of the individual's psycho-somatic dimensions interacting with his/her natural and social environments, which opens up new theoretical horizons in combined philosophies like ethics, law, politics, free will and epistemology. From a more general perspective, the theory offers rich possibilities for explaining and justifying political, economical and social statements and rules, culture and tradition. This theory can be postulated as the basis from which theorization in philosophies related to the humanities can be engaged.
Moreover, apart from searching for the nature and quality of constructional perceptions and how it affects the individual mind as well as his/her social dimensions, we inquire upon the principles and the mechanisms of the relationship of these constructional perceptions with reality and "real perceptions" as well as the mechanisms of transformation at play. We also investigate how constructional perceptions become firmly fixed and how they affect reality or are affected by it.
