Abstract
Crossing the main theories and systems of psychology where the problem of perception is discussed, there is not a deep commitment to the processes by which the perceptual phenomena are constituted. There prevails the assumption of perception and perceived object as ontologically “given” elements, i.e., constituted previously to the perceptual experience. Against this ontological approach, we seek to understand the ontogenetic processes through which the perceptual phenomena are created, structured and modified. In order to do so, we will address the perception from a transdisciplinary perspective which resounds elements of biology, ethology, philosophy and arts. In the center of this investigation, the body emerges as source of cognitive processes and focus of clinical interventions as a means of formation and transformation of subjectivity.
