Description

Perception by Adam Pautz provides an in-depth exploration of one of philosophy's most enduring and complex problems. The book examines four key theories of perception, including sense datum view, internal physical state view, representational view, and naïve realism, assessing each in turn. Pautz also discusses the relationship between perception and the physical world, as well as the issue of whether reality is as it appears. Useful examples are included throughout the book to illustrate the puzzles of perception, such as hallucinations, illusions, blindsight, and neuroscientific explanations of our experience of pain, smell, and color. With chapter summaries, suggestions for further reading, and a glossary of terms, Perception offers a comprehensive introduction to this fundamental topic in philosophy of mind, psychology, and metaphysics.
