Philosophy of Perception
Fall 2023
Taught By: Zed Adams
Section: A

CRN: 15630

Credits: 3

This seminar will focus on contemporary debates in the philosophy of perception. We will critically examine recent work on the following questions: Does language shape perception? Can the qualitative character of perceptual experience be adequately put into words (or, alternately, communicated through art)?What makes a process perceptual? Is there a border between perception and cognition? If so, how should it be defined? How are sense modalities individuated? Do intermodal effects undermine the very idea of distinct senses? What is the nature of objects of perception?
