    The Contents of Visual Experience. Susanna Siegel. Philosophy of Mind. Provides a new framework for understanding the contents of visual. What do we see? We are visually conscious of colors and shapes, but are we also visually conscious of complex properties such as being John Malkovich?.

    She then introduces a method for discovering the contents of experience: This method relies only minimally on introspection, and allows rigorous support for claims about experience. She then applies the method to make the case that we are conscious of many kinds of properties, of all sorts of causal properties, and of many other complex properties. She goes on to use the method to help analyze difficult questions about our consciousness of objects and their rolein the contents of experience, and to reconceptualize the distinction between perception and sensation.

    Siegel's results are important for many areas of philosophy, including the philosophy of mind, epistemology, and the philosophy of science.

    They are also important for the psychology and cognitive neuroscience of vision. Reviews "Siegel's book is an important contribution to the contemporary literature on the nature and structure of perception, particularly on the topic of what is sometimes called 'the admissible contents of experience' the question of which properties we experience in perception. There are three big ideas in it.

    One is a novel argument for the conclusion that perceptual experiences have representational content. Siegel makes a persuasive case that this argument applies even to all but the most radical of those who take themselves to be opposed to representational views of perception. The second is a set of arguments that these contents of perception are 'rich' in that they go beyond color, shape, illumination, motion, and space.

    Perceptual experiences represent such properties as being a dog, being a pine tree and even being John Malkovich. The third big idea is a method for adjudicating the contents of perception, the method of phenomenal contrast. This method is of considerable value whether or not one accepts Siegel's conclusions.

    This book is illuminating, convincing and also wonderfully clear and fun to read. This is an impressive book.
