Theme

The philosophy of action and perception are typically treated as more or
less separate disciplines. There is a growing trend, however, to emphasise
the importance of action in perception, and to question the idea that they
are merely instrumentally related to one another. The purpose of this
conference is to present research that explores the ways in which
perception and action may be related philosophically.
