The philosophical issues raised by perception make it one of the
central topics in the philosophical tradition. Debate about the
nature of perceptual knowledge and the objects of perception
comprises a thread that runs through the history of philosophy. In
some historical periods the major issues have been predominantly
epistemological and related to scepticism, but an adequate
understanding of perception is important more widely, especially
for metaphysics and the philosophy of mind. For this reason Barry
Maund provides an account of the major issues in the philosophy of
perception that highlights the importance of a good theory of
perception in a range of philosophical fields, while also seeking
to be sensitive to the historical dimension of the subject. The
work presents chapters on forms of natural realism; theories of
perceptual experience; representationalism; the argument from
illusion; phenomenological senses; types of perceptual content; the
representationalist/intentionalist thesis; and adverbialist
accounts of perceptual experience. The ideas of, among others,
Austin, Dretske, Heidegger, Millikan, Putnam and Robinson are
considered and the reader is given a philosophical framework within
which to consider the issues.
