The Senses (A Philosophical Introduction)

The senses are our primary means of access to and thus knowledge about the world around us. Philosophical thinking about sense perception has traditionally focussed visual experience with other sense modalities often remaining an afterthought and yet, the senses play a key role in developing the most challenging problems of philosophy. The Senses: A Philosophical Introduction is an engaging and lucid introduction to the issues raised by the on-going ‘turn to the senses’ in philosophy of perception.
