Reviews for Problems of Vision: Rethinking the Causal Theory of Perception
Vision sets out an original and provocative account of visual perception; advances important, and often devastating, criticisms of a wide range of familiar philosophical theses bearing on the character of perception; and does so in a way that makes evident his mastery of the territory.
