Long considered 'the noblest of the senses', vision has increasingly come under critical scrutiny by a wide range of thinkers who question its dominance in Western culture. This work discusses the theory of vision from Plato to Descartes, and considers its role in the French Enlightenment before turning to its status in the culture of modernity.
