The goal of this working group was to intervene in the humanities and will bring together a small core group of philosophers working on perception with scholars and artists in the humanities who also have an interest in, or specialized knowledge about, the nature and significance of perceptual experience. The group ultimately wanted to foster an intellectual exchange that would lead to more concrete interactions between the disciplines and further enrich understandings of perceptual experience.
