Abstract
Perceptual experience is the moment where a subject’s conscious mind ‘makes contact’ with her mind-independent world. The central, traditional problems for philosophers of perception have been to give an account of this conscious perceptual ‘contact’ – that is, to say both what its metaphysical nature or structure is, but also how it manages to perform the epistemic role of providing the subject with information about her surroundings, allowing her to form accurate beliefs, to become knowledgeable about her environment.
