Brewer, direct realism, and acquaintance with acquaintance [Book Review]

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 63 (2):417-422 (2001)

Abstract

Perception and Reason is a subtle and sophisticated exploration of some of the most fundamental issues concerning perception and its ontological and epistemic connection to belief about the external world. For those of us sympathetic to rather traditional views about the nature of thought and knowledge, the book is particularly intriguing as Brewer wants to defend a version of direct realism that would satisfy those unhappy with contemporary externalist accounts of reference, knowledge, and justification.
