What do we see? We are visually conscious of colors and shapes, but
are we also visually conscious of complex properties such as being
John Malkovich? In this book, Susanna Siegel develops a framework
for understanding the contents of visual experience, and argues
that these contents involve all sorts of complex properties. Siegel
starts by analyzing the notion of the contents of experience, and
by arguing that theorists of all stripes should accept that
experiences have contents. She then introduces a method for
discovering the contents of experience: the method of phenomenal
contrast. This method relies only minimally on introspection, and
allows rigorous support for claims about experience. She then
applies the method to make the case that we are conscious of many
kinds of properties, of all sorts of causal properties, and of many
other complex properties. She goes on to use the method to help
analyze difficult questions about our consciousness of objects and
their role in the contents of experience, and to reconceptualize
the distinction between perception and sensation. Siegel's results
are important for many areas of philosophy, including the
philosophy of mind, epistemology, and the philosophy of science.
They are also important for the psychology and cognitive
neuroscience of vision.
