In the first half of this book, the author tackles debates about the content of perception, namely, what sorts of properties or features of the world reveal themselves to us in perception and in what modes. Drawing on Merleau-Ponty’s description of perceptual “sense,” the author argues that perception has a unique kind of content, which cannot be adequately described in terms of sensations or concepts. He then shows how this account of perceptual sense can clarify debates about the richness of perceptual content, including whether we can perceive moral properties. In the second half, he turns to the nature of perception. Here he argues that Merleau-Ponty’s account of perceptual intentionality makes available a powerful combination of the core insights of two main contemporary approaches to this question: realism and intentionalism.

This book develops that problem and offers a distinctly phenomenological alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book’s central argument reveals a structural incompatibility between representation and awareness. Representation requires a vehicle—a bearer of content—while awareness does not. This seemingly simple difference blocks all viable strategies for combining these notions into a unified theory of perception. Through rigorous phenomenological analysis, the author demonstrates that standard accounts of phenomenal character fail to explain how we are directly aware of worldly objects. His constructive proposal develops perception as an intentional relation that is neither representational nor a real relation. This approach dissolves the apparent forced choice between Representationalism and Naïve Realism, opening philosophical space for a view that honors phenomenological insights while avoiding the pitfalls of both dominant frameworks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBridging analytic philosophy of mind and phenomenology, \u003ci\u003eRepresentation and Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e makes an original contribution to debates about perceptual experience, consciousness, and intentionality. It will appeal to scholars and graduate students working in philosophy of perception, philosophy of mind, and phenomenology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":67931002929425,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":67931003584785,"sku":"NGR9781041471899","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781041471899.jpg?v=1793732215"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-peter-antich.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
