Title: Perception and its Modalities /
Authors: Stokes, Dustin,; Matthen, Mohan,
Year: 2015
Subjects: Perception (Philosophy); Perception (Philosophy)
Abstract: This volume is about the many ways we perceive. The chapters explore the nature of the individual senses, how and what they tell about the world, and how they interrelate. They consider how the senses extract perceptual content from receptoral information; what kinds of objects individuals perceive and whether multiple senses ever perceive a single event; how many senses people have, what makes one sense distinct from another, and whether and why distinguishing senses may be useful.
