"The aim of Dominic Gregory's Showing, Sensing, and Seeming is to see what can be gained by theorizing about these representations as a class. The book makes a convincing case that the answer is quite a lot. Clearly written and well argued, it offers a theory of distinctively sensory representations--the first of its kind--and then uses it to weigh in on a range of debates." -- Margot Strohminger, British Journal of Aesthetics "Rich and original." -- Angela Mendelovici, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews "Anyone interested in the question of how mental imagery is related to sensory experience will undoubtedly find Dominic Gregory's Showing, Sensing, and Seeming interesting and rich. His treatment of neglected topics is, if sometimes dense, highly original." - Jennifer Corns, The Philosophical Quarterly "Gregory's book shows how fruitful it can be to approach well-known discussions--such as those involving depiction, mental imagery, and picture perception--from a wider perspective. Familiar problems can be seen under a new light once we recognize they are grounded in the common nature that representations share.
" -- Giulia Martina, Postgraduate Journal of Aesthetics ".a thought-provoking, unified defence of a particular view about an impressively wide range of representations. Those interested in philosophical theories of imagery and pictorial representation, and in how those theories interact with empirical debates, could learn a lot by engaging with it." -- Perception "a wonderfully engaging investigation of diverse topics. All philosophers interested in the divide between sensory and non-sensory representation will want to read this book." -- Michael Rescorla, Mind "a timely, insightful, and individual examination of the nature and contents of 'distinctively sensory representations'.the prose is clear and lively, with some nice touches of personality. The discussion ranges widely over literature in philosophy, psychology, and art history.
