Salience is both central to human life and relatively underexplored as a philosophical topic. Whether it bothers you that the picture on your wall is wonky, whose advice you should take, whether you notice the homeless person at your feet as you squeeze your way down Oxford Street: these are all a function of salience. Salience is clearly of significance for a broad range of philosophical problems but rarely, if ever, has salience itself been the theme. This volume makes it so in an attempt to learn more about the place of salience in philosophy.
All 13 chapters have been specially commissioned for this volume, and are written by an international team of leading philosophers.
Salience: A Philosophical Inquiry is essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy of mind and psychology, epistemology, and ethics. It will also be of interest to those in related subjects such as psychology, politics, and law.
Sophie Archer is Lecturer in Philosophy at Cardiff University, UK. Her primary research interests are in philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology, and epistemology. She is currently working on a book about belief, provisionally entitled Janus-Faced Belief.
