As with most "introduction to..." books, it leaves one wanting more, which i guess fulfilled it's purpose, which is to get the reader interested more in the subject and let them dive deep in the literature of it.

I however have read some philosophy of perception books prior to this and I felt that the other books (Searle, Noë, etc), were more fruitful than this book, even though those books pushed a certain theory, an example Searle pushing naive realism in his book on philosophy of perception.

Recommended for people that have some grounding in philosophy of mind or just interested people.

É uma ótima introdução a essa área bem recente e relativamente pouco conhecida: a filosofia da percepção. Fish apresenta as principais teorias clássicas ou tradicionais, como o Sense Datum, o adverbialismo, o representacionalismo e o intencionalismo (etc.); em seguida, busca apresentar as relações entre esses tópicos e pesquisas científicas; no fim, abre uma pequena discussão sobre a pouca literatura que se tem na filosofia sobre outras modalidades perceptivas que não a visão, como o olfato, o paladar, o tato e a audição.
A linguagem é razoavelmente clara, embora, em alguns momentos, achei a forma como foi colocado o debate um pouco entediante, principalmente no que diz respeito a teorias intencionalistas. Porém, pode ser só ignorância minha sobre o assunto. Recomendo uma leitura lenta e de acordo com o próprio roteiro do livro, pois Fish faz muitas referências a passagens passadas.
Uma das coisas mais interessantes do livro são as várias referências para leituras posteriores - nesse quesito o autor está de parabéns.
Enfim, recomendo todos os livros dessa série (Routledge Contemporary Introductions to Philosophy). É uma excelente forma de se introduzir em qualquer tema relevante da filosofia contemporânea (seja ciência, ética, estética, política ou até meio ambiente).

The first half of the book explores various philosophical accounts of perception. It does a good job characterizing them and explaining the contentions between various theories, but I felt like the motivation and explanatory power of the various theories was underexplored.

The second half of the book that delves into the empirical work on perception is very interesting. Chapter 8, "Perception and the Nonvisual Sense Modalities" is a 5 star chapter due to the breadth and depth it achieves covering the neglected nonvisual sense modalities.

Unfortunately, a lot of the sentences in the book are incredibly wordy, to the detriment of the reading experience. Not just wordy, but redundant; there are so many callbacks to something the author just introduced in the paragraph above or the page before - and - interruptions in sentences that distract you rather than clarify what was just said.

I rate it 4 stars for the content involved, but 2 stars for the reading experience.
