Description
Frank Jackson defends the traditional Representative theory of perception in this thought-provoking work. He argues that our visual perceptual experience is shaped by external objects, which are the causes of these experiences and possess only primary qualities.
The author presents detailed defences of sense data and the distinction between mediate and immediate perception, while also critiquing attempts to reduce perceiving to believing and arguing that his views offer a preferable alternative. This book will serve as a key reference point for future work on the philosophy of perception.
