The senses: classic and contemporary philosophical perspectives

This volume is the first on the philosophy of the non-visual senses. It includes in equal measure both 'classic' articles (from Aristotle to Paul Grice) which are unavailable or otherwise difficult to access, as well as new essays bywell-known philosophers. It also includes an introduction by Macpherson, which draws together the centuries of philosophical thought on the senses and points to likely new directions.
