Reviews

Review from previous edition Sounds is impressive. It is carefully argued and well-written... In addition to presenting a novel theory of sounds, he sets a stage on which other theorists must perform by articulating challenges that any account of sounds must meet. This book will be of interest to anyone working in the philosophy of perception... Philosophers have a lot to learn by attending to distinct sense modalities and how they interact, and O'Callaghan's book is an excellent place to start. John Kulvicki, Mind The prose and arguments are very clearly framed and the book reads well ... There is much to tweak one's interest. Don Ihde, International Journal of Philosophical Studies A great deal of effort has been expended within both of these excellent books in order to contribute to the transformation of the philosophical study of sound and auditory perception ... as an exercise of paradigm-shifting and consciousness-raising, the potential impact of Sounds is huge. Anthony Gritten, British Journal of Aesthetics, (Review of Sounds and Sounds and Perception)
