Philosophy of perception has recently become one of the most important and most central subfields of philosophical research. The aim of this volume is to give a representative sample of the new approaches in philosophy of perception that are responsible for this explosion of philosophical interest. Perceiving the World contains eleven original essays, written specially for this book by some of the leading contemporary philosophers of perception: Jonathan Cohen, Jerome Dokic, Fred Dretske, Andy Egan, Benj Hellie, Sean Kelly, Mike Martin, Mohan Matthen, Adam Pautz, Jesse Prinz, and Susanna Siegel.
