- A ground-breaking collection of essays on an underexplored topic in philosophy
- A comprehensive introduction will be useful for specialists and non-specialists alike
- All essays published here for the first time
Sounds and Perception is a collection of original essays on auditory perception and the nature of sounds - an emerging area of interest in the philosophy of mind and perception, and in the metaphysics of sensible qualities. The individual essays discuss a wide range of issues, including the nature of sound, the spatial aspects of auditory experience, hearing silence, musical experience, and the perception of speech; a substantial introduction by the editors serves to contextualise the essays and make connections between them. This collection will serve both as an introduction to the nature of auditory perception and as the definitive resource for coverage of the main
questions that constitute the philosophy of sounds and audition. The views are original, and there is substantive engagement among contributors. This collection will stimulate future research in this area.Readership: Advanced students and scholars of philosophy; psychologists interested in sound.

"With this pioneering and long-overdue collection of essays on auditory perception, Matthew Nudds and Casey O'Callaghan aim to start correcting this state of affairs. They deserve much praise, not least for their own substantial contributions and splendid introduction." - Ian Phillips, Times Literary Supplement "This volume comprises ten excellent recent essays on the philosophy of sounds and auditory perception... The editors provide an introductory essay which serves to helpfully introduce not only the volume, but also the field of philosophy of sound as a whole... The essays in this book all show that the philosophy of sound and auditory perception can be as complex, interesting, difficult, rewarding, and important as the
much more commonly explored topics of physical objects and vision. The volume should be of interest to anyone interested in ontology or perception, whether or not they have thought seriously about sounds before." - Andrew Kania, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
