Matthew Nudds is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. Casey O'Callaghan is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Rice University, and formerly taught at Bates College in Maine. He is the author of Sounds: A Philosophical Theory (OUP, 2007)
With this pioneering and long-overdue collection of essays on
auditory perception, Matthew Nudds and Casey O'Callaghan aim to
start correcting this state of affairs. They deserve much praise,
not least for their own substantial contributions and splendid
introduction.
*Ian Phillips, Times Literary Supplement*
This volume comprises ten excellent recent essays on the philosophy
of sounds and auditory perception... The editors provide an
introductory essay which serves to helpfully introduce not only the
volume, but also the field of philosophy of sound as a whole... The
essays in this book all show that the philosophy of sound and
auditory perception can be as complex, interesting, difficult,
rewarding, and important as the much more commonly explored topics
of physical objects and vision. The volume should be of interest to
anyone interested in ontology or perception, whether or not they
have thought seriously about sounds before.
*Andrew Kania, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews*
pioneering volume ... the ten new essays in Sounds and Perception
are full of ideas and interest.
*Ian B. Phillips, Journal of Consciousness Studies*
A great deal of effort has been expended within both of these
excellent books in order to contribute to the transformation of the
philosophical study of sound and auditory perception
*Anthony Gritten, British Journal of Aesthetics, (Review of Sounds
and Sounds and Perception)*
This collection of new essays exhibits the wide range of
interesting questions concerning sounds and sound perception, some
familiar from other sense modalities and others that are unique to
audition, and should be of interest to both experts and newcomers
to the study of auditory perception.
*Brad Thompson, TPM*
