Abstract. This article examines the influence of the concept of the "spirit of the age" on the process of perception as the central problem, comparatively analyzing various methodological approaches: empirical-neuro-cognitive, phenomenological, symbolic, dialectical-historical, reflective-empirical, naturalistic, and neuro-phenomenological views. The theories of scholars such as Farabi, Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Beruni, Hegel, Merleau-Ponty, Cassirer, and Jaspers are comparatively illuminated. The results substantiate that perception is not mere sensation, but a complex phenomenon shaped through conscious construction, cultural symbols, and historical context.
