Beyond Vision brings together eight essays by Casey O'Callaghan.
The works draw theoretical and philosophical lessons about
perception, the nature of its objects, and sensory awareness
through sustained attention to extra-visual and multisensory forms
of perception and perceptual consciousness. O'Callaghan focuses on
auditory perception, perception of spoken language, and
multisensory perception. The first essays concern the nature of
audition's objects, focusing on sounds, especially drawing
attention to the ways in which they contrast with vision's objects.
The middle essays explore forms of auditory perception that could
not be explained without understanding audition's interactions with
other senses. This bridges work on sound perception with work on
multisensory perception, and it raises multisensory perception as
an important topic for understanding perception even in a single
modality. The last essays are devoted to multisensory perception
and perceptual consciousness. They argue that no complete account
of perception overall or of multisensory perceptual consciousness
can be developed in modality-specific terms-perceiving amounts to
more than just seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling at
the same time. The final essay presents a new framework for
understanding what it is to be modality-specific or to be
multisensory.
