Perception: Perhaps one should look at the tradition(s) classified as "Critical Realism". E.g. Roy Wood Sellars in America and C. D. Broad in Britain. Broad is often mentioned by Price and Ayer, and occasionally by Chisholm and Wilfrid Sellars; after 1960 he seems more or less forgotten. I haven't read anything, but it seems Scientific Thought is as relevant as is Mind and its Place.

Logical empiricism again: Davidson's "Empirical Content" contains many references to the debate about so-called "protocol sentences" in articles of Schlick, Neurath, and Hempel. They are collected in Ayer's Logical Positivism. Davidson's article isn't just historical, so I don't know how accurate it is. But Ayer's book is still in print. I don't know how representative logical empiricism was, either. Probably it was more influential the decades after 1950 than before. Carnap's Logische Syntax, by the way, was published 1934 and translated as early as 1937.
