This is a wonderfully interdisciplinary volume that addresses deep theoretical and philosophical questions about the nature of vision and visual experience. The diverse papers raise core issues not only about visual perception but as well about the nature of cognition and mind. Concerns about the objects, content, and ontology of vision and visual experience provide a lens for viewing those concerns about the mind in general. This volume will provide a valuable resource for researchers or students wishing to explore the nature of mind through the vehicle of visual perception. --Robert van Gulick, Professor of Philosophy and Director, Cognitive Science Program, Syracuse UniversityPlease note: Endorser gives permission to excerpt from quote. Timely, well-balanced between history and contemporary philosophical work, and with a good dose of relevant science, this anthology shows how philosophical and scientific thinking can - and indeed must - be intermixed for a fuller understanding of the nature of visual perception. A superb collection. --Guven Guzeldere, Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Psychological & BrainSciences, Duke UniversityPlease note: There should be umlauts over the u's in the author's first and last names. Thanks.
