How does the idea that perception must provide reasons for our
empirical judgements constrain our conception of our perceptual
experiences? This volume presents ten new essays on perception
which in different ways address this fundamental question. Charles
Travis and John McDowell debate whether we need to ascribe content
to experience in order to understand how it can provide the subject
with reasons. Other essays address issues such as the following:
What exactly is the Myth of the Given and why should it be
worthwhile to try to avoid it? What constitutes our experiential
reasons? Is it experiences themselves, the objects of experiences,
or facts about our experiences? Should we conceive of experiential
reasons as conclusive reasons? How should we conceive of the
fallibility of our perceptual capacities if we think of experiences
as capable of providing conclusive reasons? How should we conceive
of the objects of experience? The contributors offer a variety of
views on the reason-giving potential of experience, engaging
explicitly and critically with each other's work.
