Perceptual Illusions [electronic resource] : Philosophical and Psychological Essays /
Calabi, C.author.
Although current debates in epistemology and philosophy of mind show a renewed interest in perceptual illusions, there is no systematic work in the philosophy of perception and in the psychology of perception with respect to the concept of illusion and the relation between illusion and error. This book aims to fill that gap.
