Book Synopsis Descartes, Malebranche, and the Crisis of Perception by : Walter R. Ott
Book excerpt: Seventeenth-century French philosophers grappled with a lasting problem: how do we use qualities such as color, feel, and sound to locate objects in the world, even though these qualities are not real? Walter Ott explores the debate about perceptual experience, covering Descartes and Malebranche alongside their less known contemporaries.
