Description
Perception: A Re-examination of the Sense-Datum Theory
This influential introduction to epistemology and philosophy of mind explores the most difficult questions about perception, re-examining the sense-datum theory that has dominated philosophical debate for nearly half a century.
Howard Robinson surveys the history of arguments for and against the theory, from Descartes to Husserl, before arguing that a return to sense-data is necessary to understand perception. This challenging and accessible book seeks to overturn a consensus in philosophy of perception.
