Visual Experience
Many of us have been fascinated by visual illusions at some point, and have asked ourselves why something can look like one thing when it is fact something else. How can we perceive two different things, when the light coming into our eyes stays constant? This book brings together psychologists and philosophers to explore this aspect of vision.

Many of us have been fascinated by visual illusions at some point or another, and have perhaps asked ourselves why something can look like one thing when it is fact something else. For example, consider the Necker Cube, where one set of lines can look like a cube at different depths. How can we perceive two different things, when the light coming into our eyes stays constant? In this book, philosophers and psychologists formalize and tackle several questions of visual perception and the methods whereby it is studied. Psychologists add empirical data to philosophical speculation; philosophers broaden the traditionally narrow focus of empirical questions.
