The article provides a deep philosophical and psychological analysis of the essence of perception and its significance in comprehending the world. It highlights the views of ancient thinkers such as Plato and Aristotle, the teachings of European philosophers Descartes, Kant, and Hegel, as well as the ideas of Eastern scholars including Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, Al-Ghazali, Al-Biruni, and Alisher Navoi. Definitions of perception are comparatively examined, and its connection with sensation, thinking, and consciousness is revealed. Within psychological and neuropsychological approaches, the importance of perception in decision-making, concentration, social adaptation, and critical analysis of information is analyzed. Furthermore, the article discusses the role of perception in individual and social life, particularly in shaping the consciousness of youth, and demonstrates its new dimensions in the context of globalization and digital media.
