IDEEN & ARGUMENTE TOWARDS A THEORY OF EPISTEM...

How does perceptual experience make us knowledgeable about the world? In this book Nadja El
Kassar argues that an informed answer requires a novel theory of perception: perceptual
experience involves conceptual capacities and consists in a relation between a perceiver and
the world. Contemporary theories of perception disagree about the role of content and
conceptual capacities in perceptual experience. In her analysis El Kassar scrutinizes the
arguments of conceptualist and relationist theories  thereby exposing their limitations for
explaining the epistemic role of perceptual experience. Against this background she develops
her novel theory of epistemically significant perception. Her theory improves on current
accounts by encompassing both the epistemic role of perceptual experiences and its perceptual
character. Central claims of her theory receive additional support from work in vision science
making this book an original contribution to the philosophy of perception.
