The study of perception is at the cross-section of many philosophical areas: philosophy of mind (the ontology of conscious experiences), epistemology (justificatory role of perception, skepticism and the external world), philosophy of language (issues in theories of reference and content), philosophy of science (scientific vs. manifest image; observation vs. theory). This course will survey major philosophical theories in the philosophy of perception such as naïve realism, sense-datum theory, adverbialism, intentionalism, among others. The course will center around the so-called “problem of perception”. We will also spend some time to investigate the role of bodily sensations such as pains to see whether they can shed new lights on our understanding of standard modes of perception.
