The study of perception and the role of the senses have recently
risen to prominence in philosophy and are now a major area of study
and research. However, the philosophical history of the senses
remains a relatively neglected subject. Moving beyond the current
philosophical canon, this outstanding collection offers a
wide-ranging and diverse philosophical exploration of the senses,
from the classical period to the present day. Written by a team of
international contributors, it is divided into six parts:
Perception from Non-Western Perspectives Perception in the Ancient
Period Perception in the Medieval Latin/Arabic Period Perception in
the Early Modern Period Perception in the Post-Kantian Period
Perception in the Contemporary Period. The volume challenges
conventional philosophical study of perception by covering a wide
range of significant, as well as hitherto overlooked, topics, such
as perceptual judgment, temporal and motion illusions, mirror and
picture perception, animal senses and cross-modal integration. By
investigating the history of the senses in thinkers such as
Plotinus, Auriol, Berkeley and Cavendish; and considering the
history of the senses in diverse philosophical traditions,
including Chinese, Indian, Byzantine, Greek and Latin it brings a
fresh approach to studying the history of philosophy itself.
Including a thorough introduction as well as introductions to each
section by the editors, The Senses and the History of Philosophy is
essential reading for students and researchers in the history of
philosophy, perception, philosophy of mind, philosophical
psychology, aesthetics and eastern and non-western philosophy. It
will also be extremely useful for those in related disciplines such
as psychology, religion, sociology, intellectual history and
cognitive sciences.
