Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Bill Brewer presents, motivates, and defends a bold new solution to a fundamental problem in the philosophy of perception. What is the correct theoretical conception of perceptual experience, and how should we best understand the most fundamental nature of our perceptual relation with the physical objects in the world around us? Most theorists today analyse perception in terms of its representational content, in large part in order to avoid fatal problems attendingthe early modern conception of perception as a relation with particular mind-dependent objects of experience. Having set up the underlying problem and explored the lessons to be learnt from the variousdifficulties faced by opposing early modern responses to it, Bill Brewer argues that this contemporary approach has serious problems of its own. Furthermore, the early modern insight that perception is most fundamentally to be construed as a relation of conscious acquaintance with certain direct objects of experience is, he claims, perfectly consistent with the commonsense identification of such direct objects with persisting mind-independent physical objects themselves. Brewer here provides acritical, historical account of the philosophy of perception, in order to present a defensible vindication of empirical realism. Bill Brewer presents a bold new answer to a fundamental question of philosophy: what is the nature of our perceptual relation with objects in the world? His account of perceptual experience captures the fact that physical objects are both the very things that are subjectively presented in perception, and also entirely independent of experience.
