About the Author
Susanna Siegel is Edgar Pierce Professor of Philosophy at Harvard University. She is author of numerous articles in the philosophy of perception and epistemology, including several that brought cognitive penetrability into focus for analytic epistemologists. Her book The Contents of Visual Experience (Oxford University Press 2010) won the 2012 Walter Channing Cabot prize. It develops a method of phenomenal contrast for determining which properties are represented in perception, defends the view that perception can represent properties as complex as kinds, causation, and personal identity, and has been discussed widely in the philosophy of mind, epistemology, and moral philosophy.
Reviews
The Rationality of Perception is a very skilled and original work. I am glad I have read it and I would recommend anyone interested in the issues to do so. * Anne Jaap Jacobson, Hypatia *
Susanna Siegel's book The Rationality of Perception makes ...important and permanent contributions to the philosophy of perception. * Christopher Peacocke, Res Philosophica *
Siegel's discussion ...sets the terms for a whole new debate in epistemology. She ...deserves credit for starting the conversation about attention norms; we would be foolish not to continue it. * Zachary Irving, Ratio *
A bold, provocative, and highly original book. * Alan Millar, Mind *
...the most animating aspects of The Rationality of Perception ...are summarized in its spellbinding preface. * Katia Samoilova, Analysis *
