Sense perception is one of the classical themes in philosophy. It
is traditionally considered a necessary preamble to many important
topics, such as the mind-body relationship, consciousness,
knowledge, and skepticism. Perception is also a phenomenon which
itself raises philosophical questions, such as what is perceptible,
what the content of perception is, whether this content is
conceptual and how perception is related to epistemic attitudes.
While the philosophy of mind and philosophical psychology are the
main areas in which perception is dealt with in contemporary
philosophy, it is also discussed in the theory of knowledge,
cognitive science, philosophical aesthetics and metaphysics. In
recent years, the rich tradition of various philosophical theories
of perception has been increasingly studied by scholars of the
history of philosophy of mind.
The aim of this collection is to shed light on the developments
in the theories of sense-perception in medieval Arabic and Latin
philosophy, their ancient background and traditional and new themes
in early modern thought. Particular attention is paid to the
philosophically significant parts of the theories. The articles
concentrate on the so-called external senses and related themes.
Many of the central ideas are discussed, although the collection is
also meant to shed light on less studied subjects.
