Sommario/riassunto |
|
In this text Gerald Vision argues for a new causal theory, one that engages provocatively with direct realism and makes no use of a now discredited subjectivism. This is intended for scholars and students of philosophy, particularly of metaphysics, and perception and causal theory. |
