Describe the relationship among petites perceptions, limen, and apperception.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution 1

Leibniz postulated the concept of insensible perceptions that was really helpful to the psychologists in gaining the concept of insensible atoms that comes under the category of physics. Thus, he identified little kind of perceptions that occurs simultaneously below the level of awareness that is collectively known as petites perceptions.

As petites perceptions accumulate, their combined force ultimately results in the overall development of conscious awareness that is collectively known as apperception. It develops a critical relationship between conscious perception and unconscious sensation. Leibniz was considered as the first philosopher that postulate about the thinking of an unconscious mind.

A limen concept was also proposed by Leibniz into the field of psychology that refers to the awareness of experiences above a minimal percentage of petites perceptions that causes the experiences below to that threshold level by becoming unconscious in state.
