About this book

Panayot Butchvarov asks whether we are entitled to claim knowledge of, or evidence for, material things existing beyond our minds. He draws on both analytic and continental philosophy to develop an unusually original approach to this long-running question.

His central claim is that a direct realist picture of perceiving gives the sceptic a real answer. On that view, in perceiving we are directly aware of material objects, not just of something mental standing in for them. The argument is aimed at readers interested in the philosophy of perception and epistemology.

The book is published by Oxford University Press, ISBN-13 9780195117196.
