Beskrivning

In this study of Wittgenstein's later work on the philosophy of psychology, his cryptic remarks on visual meaning and the analysis of the concept of perception are used as a basis for a new approach to the philosophical study of perception. Justin Good analyses a host of issues in contemporary philosophy of mind and visual studies, including the concepts of visual meaning, visual qualia and the ineffability of visual experience. The larger aim of Wittgenstein and the Theory of Perception is to demonstrate a way to appreciate cutting-edge theoretical work on perception while at the same time grasping the limits of such research.

"'Ably and engagingly written, careful yet open-ended and creative, this book is the most thought-provoking work on Wittgenstein's concept of "seeing aspects" that I have read. I endorse its publication enthusiastically.' Juliet Floyd, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Boston University"
