Summary:

This is a lucid and thoughtful philosophical work of interest to a broad audience beyond philosophers, including artists and art theorists, psychologists, cognitive scientists, and anthropologists. The seven essays were originally published in the periodicals Philosophical Quarterly, Philosophical Topics and Analysis or as portions of edited books. Noë (philosophy, City University of New York) has reworked them to some degree and presents them here as an integrated set of discussions on themes involving art, perception, understanding, knowledge, the activities of the mind, and human interaction with the world.
