This book offers two novel claims about Wittgenstein's views and
methods on perception as explored in the Philosophical
Investigations. The first is an interpretive claim about
Wittgenstein: that his views on sensation and perception, including
his critique of private language, have their roots in his
reflections on sense-datum theories and on what Hymers calls the
misleading metaphor of phenomenal space. The second is a major
philosophical claim: that Wittgenstein's critique of the misleading
metaphor of phenomenal space is of ongoing relevance to current
debates concerning first-person authority and the problem of
perception because we are still tempted to draw inferences about
the phenomenal that only apply to the physical. Many contemporary
discussions of these topics are thus premised on the very
confusions Wittgenstein sought to dispel. This book will appeal to
Wittgenstein scholars who are interested in the Philosophical
Investigations and to philosophers of perception who may think that
Wittgenstein's views are mistaken, irrelevant, or already
adequately appreciated.
