ISBN: 9780415999120.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe philosophy of perception investigates the nature of our sensory experiences and their relation to reality. Raising questions about the conscious character of perceptual experiences, how they enable us to acquire knowledge of the world in which we live, and what exactly it is we are aware of when we hallucinate or dream, the philosophy of perception is a growing area of interest in metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of mind.\nWilliam Fish’s Philosophy of Perception introduces the subject thematically, setting out the major theories of perception together with their motivations and attendant problems. While providing historical background to debates in the field, this comprehensive overview focuses on recent presentations and defenses of the different theories, and looks beyond visual perception to take into account the role of other senses.\nTopics covered include:\nthe phenomenal principle\nperception and hallucination\nperception and content\nsense-data, adverbialism and idealism\ndisjunctivism and relationalism\nintentionalism and combined theories\nthe nature of content\nveridicality\nperception and empirical science\nnon-visual perception.\nWith summaries and suggested further reading at the end of each chapter, this is an ideal introduction to the philosophy of perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45113401442357,"sku":"ByrdShop_041599912X","price":90.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415999120_fc218729-a7cd-4673-9f31-420e2a9b81c6.jpg?v=1781361512","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/philosophy-of-perception-a-contemporary-introduction-routledge-contemporary-introductions-to-philosophy-9780415999120","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
