Yoad,
I believe Gibson functioned as a "father of situated cognition" in which people began to realize that sentient beings were linked cognitively and behaviorally to both their internal and external environments and began to seek deeper understanding of these interactions. His was an era where ecology, environmental psychology, cybernetics and situated cognition arose and in which the phenomenal, emotional and rational experience of person environment relationships began to be studied and applied. It was the time when Rachel Carson and many others began to look closely at the human relationships to natural environments, while anthropology, artificial intelligence, robotics, space exploration, computational systems, and simulations opened technological and experiential worlds that we are still exploring. Gibson introduced a greater awareness that rationality has its limits and speed of comprehension is slower and more full of opportunity than speed of perception and awareness. He certainly has my appreciation if not necessarily my comprehension .
Best regards,
Chuck
