Content:
Christopher S. Hill offers an original philosophical account of perceptual experience: its intrinsic nature, its engagement with the world, its relations to mental states of other kinds, and its role in epistemic norms. He argues that it constitutively involves representations of worldly items, which can be explained in broadly biological terms.
