Summary:

Charles Travis presents a series of essays on philosophy of perception, inspired by the insights of Gottlob Frege. He engages with a range of contemporary thinkers and explores key issues, including how perception can make the world bear on what we do or think and what sorts of capacities we draw on in representing something as (being) something.
