Description
Disjunctivism: A Philosophical Investigation The nature of perception is a topic of ongoing debate in philosophy. Disjunctivists argue that the experiences involved in perception, illusion, and hallucination are fundamentally different. This book provides an in-depth exploration of this contested issue, examining the accounts of perception defended by disjunctivists and those they oppose. Matthew Soteriou delves into key questions surrounding disjunctivism, including its consistency with scientific findings, the role of introspection, and the nature of perceptual knowledge. The book also addresses the relationship between perception and our ability to think about mind-independent objects and qualities. With chapter summaries, annotated further reading, and a glossary, Disjunctivism is an ideal starting point for those new to the subject or a valuable resource for more advanced students and researchers. By examining the complexities of disjunctivism, this book offers a nuanced understanding of perception and its place within philosophical inquiry.
