Wittgenstein and Perception

<p>Throughout his career Wittgenstein was preoccupied with issues in the philosophy of perception. Despite this little attention has been paid to this aspect of Wittgenstein's work. This volume redresses this lack by bringing together an international group of leading philosophers to focus on the impact of Wittgenstein's work on the philosophy of perception. The ten specially commissioned chapters draw on the complete range of Wittgenstein's writings from his earliest to latest extant works and combine both exegetical approaches with engagements with contemporary philosophy of mind. Topics covered include: </p><ul> <p> </p> <li>perception and judgement in the <i>Tractatus</i> </li> <li>aspect-perception</li> <li>the putative intentionality of perception</li> <li>representationalism.</li> </ul><p>The book also includes an overview which summarises the evolution of Wittgenstein's views on perception throughout his life. With an outstanding array of contributors <i>Wittgenstein and Perception</i> is essential reading for students and scholars of Wittgenstein’s work as well as those working in philosophy of mind and philosophy of perception.</p><p>Contributors: Yasuhiro Arahata Michael Campbell William Child Daniel Hutto Michael O’Sullivan Marie McGinn Michel terHark Charles Travis and José Zalabardo.</p>
