Rezensionen

"I have been using the first edition of William Fish's Philosophy of Perception very successfully in my philosophy of perception courses. The second edition has all the virtues of the first: presenting a balanced account of the principal theories in the field, uncovering potentially problematic assumptions, and raising issues for further discussion - all written in an admirably clear and engaging style. The new edition contains discussions of recent work at the intersection of the philosophy and the science of perception, including chapters on color and color vision, interaction between sense modalities, and cross-modal illusions. Highly recommended."
