The book explores David Marr's computational theory of vision, emphasizing the importance of understanding psychological functions through a structured framework. It breaks down Marr's approach into three distinct levels: computational, algorithmic, and implementational, highlighting how each level contributes to our understanding of vision without delving into complex neuroscientific details. This analysis aims to clarify the interplay between psychological processes and computational models in the study of vision.

Počnúc Platónom si filozofi kladú otázku, ako je možné poznanie. Ako poznávame vonkajší svet objektov a udalostí? Ako poznávame vnútorný svet myšlienok, presvedčení, pocitov a nálad a ako tieto dva svety spolu súvisia? Tradičná filozofia vytvorila pojem „vedomia“ a metódu jeho skúmania – introspekciu, pomocou ktorej hľadala odpovede na Platónove otázky. DANIEL C. DENNETT (1942), jeden zo zakladateľov súčasnej filozofie mysle, prišiel začiatkom sedemdesiatych rokov minulého storočia s myšlienkou, že táto cesta nikam nevedie. Podľa neho treba začať inými otázkami: Čím by sa na seba mali podobať veci, ktorým pripisujeme presvedčenia, myšlienky, pocity alebo nálady? Myslia zvieratá? Budú stroje niekedy myslieť? Akú vnútornú stavbu by mal mať biologický organizmus alebo stroj, o ktorom by sme mali dôvod myslieť si, že myslí? Pri hľadaní odpovedí na tieto otázky vytvára Dennett prekvapujúce metafory, modely a príbehy a pomocou nich objasňuje, ako mohla evolúcia vytvoriť taký zázračný svet, aký predstavuje vnútorný svet ľudskej mysle.
