Philosophy of Perception

Reviews / Votes

"Professor Fish's manuscript is a comprehensive introduction to contemporary philosophy of perception, written in an admirably clear and engaging style. . . .It will fill a real gap in the existing literature. While there have been many books on the topic of perception in recent years, almost all argue for a specific point of view and are targeted at a professional audience. Fish's book presents a balanced account of the principal theories in the field, noting strengths and weaknesses, uncovering potentially problematic assumptions, and raising issues for further discussion - exactly what a text should do. I welcome the publication of this book. I will likely use it alone in my undergraduate courses, and paired with a selection of readings in graduate courses."-Frances Egan, Rutgers University, USA 'A comprehensive introduction to contemporary philosophy of perception, written in an admirably clear and engaging style ...
