This volume is about the many ways we perceive. In nineteen new
essays, philosophers and cognitive scientists explore the nature of
the individual senses, how and what they tell us about the world,
and how they interrelate. They consider how the senses extract
perceptual content from receptoral information and what kinds of
objects we perceive and whether multiple senses ever perceive a
single event. Questions pertaining to how many senses we have, what
makes one sense distinct from another, and whether and why
distinguishing senses may be useful feature prominently.
Contributors examine the extent to which the senses act in concert,
rather than as discrete modalities, and whether this influence is
epistemically pernicious, neutral, or beneficial. Many of the
essays engage with the idea that it is unduly restrictive to think
of perception as a collation of contents provided by individual
sense modalities. Rather, contributors contend that to understand
perception properly we need to build into our accounts the idea
that the senses work together. In doing so, they aim to develop
better paradigms for understanding the senses and thereby to move
toward a better understanding of perception.
