…In ancient Japan, the word “perception” meant “to know, to understand”; however, Nishi Amane used it as a translation of “perception” in his Japanese translation of the American Joseph Haven’s book “Mental Philosophy” (1857, 2nd edition 1869), “Psychology” (volumes 1 and 2) (1875-79), and since then, it has been used in philosophy and psychology as a translation of the English and French words “perception” and the German word “Wahrnehmung”.
