ABSTRACT
This chapter traces the history of philosophical reflection about perception in the last century, primarily in the Anglo-North American world. The chapter looks at philosophical issues and theories that concern conscious perceptual experience and its phenomenology, as well as at issues that arise by studying perception third-personally, through work in the psychological and cognitive sciences. While the philosophy of perception is primarily focused on vision, the chapter tries to be sensitive to the contribution that work on other modalities brings to the field.
