A nice couple of sentences: '"Perception as a whole has its true and final explanation in the tendency of the body to movement". Our perceptions are non-veridical in that they are a reduction of what there is in the world: their sole purpose is to facilitate our actions in the world ... Our perceptions do not fashion 'representations' of the world around us out of sensory data, instead they 'lessen' the 'more' that there really is in the world, in order that we can act upon it.'
