ABSTRACT

When you look at an apple, you see it as having various properties, say, the property of being red, the property of being in front of you, the property of being round, and so on. Perception represents properties. A number of questions arise: (i) What is the range of perceptually represented properties? (ii) Does perception represent tropes or universals? (iii) Does perception represent determinate or determinable properties? (iv) What are the properties represented in perception attributed to? In this chapter, I will address these questions in turn and then ask how these debates connect up with one another.
