Philosophy of Time and Perceptual Experience

This book explores the relationship between the philosophy of time and the temporal structure of perceptual experience. It examines how time structures perceptual experience and, through that structuring, the ways in which time makes perceptual experience trustworthy or erroneous. It examines the general conditions under which an experience may be sorted into different kinds of error such as illusions and hallucinations.

Sean Enda Power is Adjunct Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at Trinity College Dublin. He is the author of Philosophy of Time: A Contemporary Introduction (forthcoming, Routledge).
