Abstract: This course examines the recent philosophy of perception. Topics considered include transparency of experience, consciousness, sensory awareness, content of visual experience, thought ownership, thought disorders, schizophrenia, introspection, and sound. Questions raised by these topics include "Is there a perceptual relation?" and "What is a sound?". We explore these topics through reading, writing, and presentations by the instructors and guests.
