How does perceptual experience make us knowledgeable about the
world? In this book Nadja El Kassar argues that an informed answer
requires a novel theory of perception: perceptual experience
involves conceptual capacities and consists in a relation between a
perceiver and the world. Contemporary theories of perception
disagree about the role of content and conceptual capacities in
perceptual experience. In her analysis El Kassar scrutinizes the
arguments of conceptualist and relationist theories, thereby
exposing their limitations for explaining the epistemic role of
perceptual experience. Against this background she develops her
novel theory of epistemically significant perception. Her theory
improves on current accounts by encompassing both the epistemic
role of perceptual experiences and its perceptual character.
Central claims of her theory receive additional support from work
in vision science, making this book an original contribution to the
philosophy of perception.
