What is the nature of, and what is the relationship between,
external objects and our visual perceptual experience of them? In
this book, Frank Jackson defends the answers provided by the
traditional Representative theory of perception. He argues, among
other things that we are never immediately aware of external
objects, that they are the causes of our perceptual experiences and
that they have only the primary qualities. In the course of the
argument, sense data and the distinction between mediate and
immediate perception receive detailed defences and the author
criticises attempts to reduce perceiving the believing and to show
that the Representative theory makes the external world unknowable.
Jackson recognises that his views are unfashionable but argues in
detail that they are to be preferred to their currently favoured
competitors. It will become an obvious point of reference for all
future work on the philosophy of perception.
