This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC
BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford
Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and
selected open access locations. Christopher S. Hill argues that
perceptual experience constitutively involves representations of
worldly items, and that the relevant form of representation can be
explained in broadly biological terms. He then maintains that the
representational contents of perceptual experiences are perceptual
appearances, interpreted as relational, viewpoint-dependent
properties of external objects. There is also a complementary
explanation of how the objects that possess these properties are
represented. Hill maintains that perceptual phenomenology can be
explained reductively in terms of the representational contents of
experiences, and uses this doctrine to undercut the traditional
arguments for dualism. This treatment of perceptual phenomenology
is expanded to encompass cognitive phenomenology, the phenomenology
of moods and emotions, and the phenomenology of pain. Hill also
offers accounts of the various forms of consciousness that
perceptual experiences can possess. One aim is to argue that
phenomenology is metaphysically independent of these forms of
consciousness, and another is to de-mystify the form known as
phenomenal consciousness. The book concludes by discussing the
relations of various kinds that perceptual experiences bear to
higher-level cognitive states, including relations of format,
content, and justification or support.
