Bill Brewer presents, motivates, and defends a bold new solution to
a fundamental problem in the philosophy of perception. What is the
correct theoretical conception of perceptual experience, and how
should we best understand the most fundamental nature of our
perceptual relation with the physical objects in the world around
us? Most theorists today analyse perception in terms of its
representational content, in large part in order to avoid fatal
problems attending the early modern conception of perception as a
relation with particular mind-dependent objects of experience.
Having set up the underlying problem and explored the lessons to be
learnt from the various difficulties faced by opposing early modern
responses to it, Bill Brewer argues that this contemporary approach
has serious problems of its own. Furthermore, the early modern
insight that perception is most fundamentally to be construed as a
relation of conscious acquaintance with certain direct objects of
experience is, he claims, perfectly consistent with the commonsense
identification of such direct objects with persisting
mind-independent physical objects themselves. Brewer here provides
a critical, historical account of the philosophy of perception, in
order to present a defensible vindication of empirical realism.
