Does Perception Have Content? by Berit Brogaard
Within the contemporary philosophical debates over the nature of perception, the question of whether perception has content in the first place recently has become a focus of discussion. The most common view is that it does, but a number of philosophers have questioned this claim. The issue immediately raises a number of related questions. What does it mean to say that perception has content? Does perception have more than one kind of content? Does perceptual content derive from the content of beliefs or judgments? Should perceptual content be understood in terms of accuracy conditions? Is naive realism compatible with holding that perception has content? This volume brings together philosophers representing many different perspectives to address these and other central questions in the philosophy of perception.-

What is particularly valuable here is the thorough introduction provided by its editorBrogaard discusses the central arguments of each contribution, usefully highlighting not only points of connection between papers but also potential challenges to their central arguments. * The Philosophical Quarterly *
... What the volume does well is give us a sampling of the state of the art today ... Brogaard does a remarkable job of summarizing all the chapters in her introduction. This turned out to be a most valuable part of the book, to which I returned many times. * Gabrielle B. Jackson, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online *
