"A Contrast Between Two Pictures": the case of perception

Hornsby, Jennifer (2016) "A Contrast Between Two Pictures": the case of perception. Philosophical Topics 44 (1), pp. 127-139. ISSN 0276-2080.

Abstract

I speak to some of Frederick Stoutland’s thinking over the years. In his last published paper, Stoutland brought together Davidson’s accounts of action and of perception, taking both to belong in a picture “of how we are related to the world” which “has its roots in the Cartesian revolution.” I suggest that Stoutland’s early criticisms of Davidson’s account of action expose the faults in such a picture. And I try to point up the attractions of a different picture in which Davidson’s account of perception fits no better than his account of action.
