Perceptual experience

Tamar Szabó Gendler, John P. Hawthorne

OXFORD University Press, 2006 - Philosophy - 550 pages

In the last few years there has been an explosion of philosophical interest in perception; after decades of neglect, it is now one of the most fertile areas for new work. Perceptual Experience presents new work by fifteen of the world's leading philosophers.

This will be the book on the philosophy of perception, a fascinating resource for philosophers and psychologists.
