Wylie Breckenridge offers a fresh understanding of the character of visual experience by deploying the methods of semantics. He develops a theory of what we mean by the 'look' sentences that we use to describe the character of our visual experiences, and on that basis develops a theory of what it is to have a visual experience with a certain character. The result is a new and stronger defence of a neglected view, the adverbial theory of perception.
Wylie Breckenridge studied as an undergraduate at Sydney University before completing his BPhil and DPhil and Oxford University. He then held a Postdoc position at Cornell University for two years, before beocoming a lecturer at Charles Sturt University.
