Skepticism and the Veil of Perception

Explore the profound inquiries of philosophy with Michael Huemer's thought-provoking work, Skepticism and the Veil of Perception. Published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc in 2001, this paperback edition spans 232 pages and delves into the fundamental question of how we can be certain that the objects we perceive are indeed real. Huemer presents an innovative theory of awareness, arguing that perception directly connects us to objects themselves, rather than merely to mental representations. This engaging text challenges traditional epistemological views and offers insights into non-inferential knowledge of the properties of objects, inviting readers to reconsider the nature of reality and our understanding of it. Ideal for those interested in philosophy, skepticism, and the philosophy of mind, this book is a must-read for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of human perception and knowledge.
