Contemporary philosophy of perception is dominated by highly
polarized debates. The polarization is particularly acute in the
debate between naive realist disjunctivists and their opponents,
but divisions seem almost as stark in other areas of dispute, for
example, the debate over whether we experience so-called
'high-level' properties, and the debate concerning individuation of
the senses. The guiding hypothesis underlying this volume is that
such polarization stems from insufficient attention to how we
should go about settling these debates. In general, there is
widespread, largely implicit disagreement concerning what
philosophical theories of perception are supposed to explain, the
claims that we should hold fixed in the course of theorizing, and
the methods that such theorizing should employ. The goal of this
volume is to move such methodological questions from the background
to the front of the debate, in the hope of facilitating progress.
The contributions constitute an initial effort to spur more
explicit, systematic discussion of methodology in philosophy of
perception, covering a wide range of relevant topics, from the
relation between scientific and philosophical theorizing about
perception, to lessons we can learn from the history of philosophy
of perception.
