About this book

Debate about the nature of perceptual knowledge and the objects of perception runs through the history of philosophy, making perception one of the central topics in the philosophical tradition. Barry Maund's account of the major issues in the philosophy of perception highlights the importance of a good theory of perception in a range of philosophical fields - including epistemology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of mind - while also respecting the historical dimension of the subject.
