- Abstract:
- The debate over the nature of perceptual states has been a significant part of the literature of philosophy of the mind during the past two decades. John Campbell's philosophical works on metaphysics and epistemology of sensory perception, according to many of his followers and critics, are among the most coherent contemporary philosophical works with recent advances in cognitive science. His research on the relationship between attention, reference, knowledge and spatial representations is to a large extent supported by scientific ideas in empirical psychology, and it can be said that most of his work is devoted to analyzing and solving the theoretical complexities deriving from empirical research. His book named “knowledge and reference” is, in fact, a summary of Campbell's thoughts about the relationship between the ability of refering to objects and other human cognitive abilities. This thesis, firstly, two main rival theories of sensory perception (representationalism and naive realism) and their metaphysical and epistemological consequences is introduced. Secondly, the logical relationship between these two categories of theories is determined, and Campbell and Martin's critique of the representationalist account of sensory perception and their arguments for naïve realism are discussed. Finally, Campbell’s thoughts on the mechanism of attention and the content of sensory perception are briefly presented
