A philosophical project dedicated to developing an integrated approach to property perception

Recent philosophical investigation on perception has often focused on perception of objects. When attention is given to the perception of properties it is often in the context of local debates; e.g. whether high-level properties feature in the content of perception.

​

By contrast, we aim to reveal property perception’s importance to a general account of perception by identifying and addressing these puzzles about property perception.

​

The aim of the project is to put together a team of investigators with complementary expertise, and illuminate property perception simultaneously from three angles:

​

1. the metaphysics of properties,

2. our capacity for thought and knowledge of properties,

3. the nature of perception.
