In the second edition of this popular book, William Fish introduces the subject thematically, setting out the major theories of perception together with their motivations and attendant problems. While providing historical background to debates in the field, this comprehensive overview focuses on recent presentations and defenses of the different theories, and looks beyond visual perception to take into account the role of other senses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second edition organizes the contents into two main parts: the first deals with philosophical theories of perception, and the second covers key topics and issues in perception as they are discussed in philosophy, cognitive science, and psychology. Two completely new chapters have been added - one on color and color vision; and a second on the interaction between sense modalities - and other chapters have been significantly updated to include discussion of topics such as pre-twentieth-century philosophy of perception, phenomenal intentionality, color adverbialism, predictive processing approaches to perception, ecological approaches to perception, and in-depth discussions of the non-visual senses. Additional updates include fuller and easier-to-understand explanations of some important views that were glossed over in the first edition and greater coverage of research from the last 25 years. All chapter summaries, references, and Suggested Reading lists at the end of each chapter have been brought up to date and the volume now includes a more extensive index at the back of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features and Benefits: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe only single-authored textbook on philosophy of perception currently available\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevoted to \u003ci\u003econtemporary\u003c\/i\u003e theories and topics, but with appropriate historical coverage for fuller understanding of contemporary work\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEach chapter includes a chapter overview, questions for further consideration, and an annotated list of Suggested Reading\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes coverage of topics like: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe phenomenal principle\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eperception and hallucination\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eperception and content\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003enaïve realism and disjunctivism\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eintentionalism and representationalism\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe nature of content\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003equalia theories and phenomenal intentionality\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eperception and empirical science\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecolor and color science\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003etheories of non-visual perception\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMolyneux's problem\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecross-modal illusions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emultimodality\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Changes to the Second Edition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe division of the book into two major parts: Part I on philosophical theories of perception, Part II on key interdisciplinary topics in perception\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe addition of two new chapters on color and color vision, and interaction between different sense modalities\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMore topics from the last 25 years of philosophy of perception\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCombined chapters on belief acquisition theories and intentional theories into one larger chapter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMore material on the growing intersection of the philosophy and psychology of perception\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes coverage of Molyneux's problem and of cross-modal illusions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUpdated chapter summaries, references, and Suggested Reading lists at the end of each chapter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA summary table and a more extensive index\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Fish\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Philosophy at Massey University, New Zealand.
