Perception under construction

Perception under construction is a new online seminar in philosophy of perception, which finds ts origin in the forthcoming Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Philosophy of Perception. The Handbook  will mirror the shifting theoretical landscape of contemporary philosophy of perception.  Not only has there been an increase in research on philosophy of perception but also a shift to more empirically informed philosophical methods, as well as the newfound interest in the diversity of perceptual modalities beyond vision. Moreover, there has been an influx of young trendsetting philosophers developing areas well beyond the well-worn debates of the past centuries. Please find the Table of content below.

The seminar will give a chance for the contributors to present their work in progress and gain feedback. It will be open to PhDs, Post-docs, and philosophers working in these areas. Each seminar will include two short talks (20mn each) and discussion on a Thursday on  a bimonthly rhythm. 

The first session will be on Thursday 24th September.
