The Structure of Perceptual Experience

To understand perceptual experience, we must understand its structure. Conscious episodes of seeing, hearing, etc. are structured in a variety of ways: spatially, temporally, and by the nature of the different senses. The six concise and accessible essays included in The Structure of Perceptual Experience articulate these various structural features, exploring their consequences for the nature of perceptual experience and the form of cognitive contact with the world it provides. This collection represents the cutting edge of the philosophy of perception and will prove to be a valuable resource for academics, researchers and scholars.
