Conscious perceptual experiences are not only one of the most
pervasive and familiar mental states that we enjoy in our lives as
minded creatures, but they are also the most fundamental source of
our knowledge of the world in which we live. An understanding of
perception is therefore essential to both understanding who we are
and how we engage with the world in which we live. Although
philosophical thinking about perception is as old as philosophy
itself, the late 20th and early 21st centuries have seen a
resurgence of interest in this core philosophical topic which has
seen it become one of the hottest topics in contemporary
philosophy. The proposed collection will therefore provide the
reader with the historical background needed to understand the key
concerns of contemporary philosophy of perception (Volume I) as
well as a detailed understanding of the different theories that
attempt to address those concerns (Volume II). In addition to this,
the collection will also provide the reader with an appreciation
for the many ways in which philosophical and empirical, scientific
approaches to perception interact with one another (Volume III) and
will introduce the reader to both historical and contemporary
attempts to move our thinking about perception beyond the central
case of vision (Volume IV). Each volume will contain a
newly-written introduction by the editor that will both overview
the contents of that particular volume and connect that volume to
the general themes of the collection.
