<b>James Stazicker</b> is a Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Reading. Focusing on the philosophy of psychology and philosophy of perception, he is a member of the University of Reading’s interdisciplinary Centre for Cognition Research.
To understand perceptual experience, we must understand its structure. Conscious episodes of seeing, hearing, etc. are structured in a variety of ways: spatially, temporally, and by the nature of the different senses. The six concise and accessible essays included in <i>The Structure of Perceptual Experience </i>articulate these various structural features, exploring their consequences for the nature of perceptual experience and the form of cognitive contact with the world it provides. This collection represents the cutting edge of the philosophy of perception and will prove to be a valuable resource for academics, researchers and scholars.
