Towards a Theory of Epistemically Significant Perception: How We Relate to the World (Ideen & Argumente) - Hardcover
Synopsis
How does perceptual experience make us knowledgeable about the world? In this book Nadja El Kassar argues that an informed answer requires a novel theory of perception: perceptual experience involves conceptual capacities and consists in a relation between a perceiver and the world.
Contemporary theories of perception disagree about the role of content and conceptual capacities in perceptual experience. In her analysis El Kassar scrutinizes the arguments of conceptualist and relationist theories, thereby exposing their limitations for explaining the epistemic role of perceptual experience. Against this background she develops her novel theory of epistemically significant perception. Her theory improves on current accounts by encompassing both the epistemic role of perceptual experiences and its perceptual character. Central claims of her theory receive additional support from work in vision science, making this book an original contribution to the philosophy of perception.

About the Author
Nadja El Kassar, ETH Zürich, Switzerland.
From the Back Cover
"When I perceive the large tower, it is directly present to me as a
large tower. I see it as a large tower. Of course, I can also see
the tower as a building with a colorful roof, or simply as a building.
But I always see it as something. If I did not perceive it as something,
I would not perceive it at all."
How does perceptual experience make us knowledgeable? This book
argues that the answer lies in the nature of perceptual experience:
this experience involves conceptual capacities and is a relation
between perceiver and world. The author develops her position via
a critical examination of conceptualist and relationist theories of
perception. A discussion of recent work in vision science rounds up
this contribution to the philosophy of perception.
