Audi is one of the most distinguished and prolific analytic philosophers working today ... The argumentation in is rich and complex . . . the book represents an important contribution to current debates in epistemology and the philosophy of mind. * B. T. Harding, CHOICE * Seeing, Knowing and Doing is a gem. Clearly and concisely, it manages to tackle some of the deepest issues in epistemology. . . such as the nature of perception, its role in justification, the relationship between justification and knowledge, the nature and extent of the a priori, the nature of know-how and the relation between perception and action, while proposing innovative views on all these fronts. * Annalisa Coliva, University of California, Irvine * Seeing, Knowing, and Doing offers a comprehensive picture of perception, knowledge, and agency. At its center is the idea that perception is a starting point for knowledge, as for many other epistemic and practical achievements. The book tells a complete story of the role of perception in our cognitive and epistemic lives. Wide-ranging and rigorous, it balances respect for our intuitions with theoretical consistency and completeness. * Zöe Jenkin, Rutgers University * Throughout his distinguished career, Audi has reflected as deeply as anyone on the nature and role of perceptual experience as guides to belief and action, where his own reflection is informed by his penetrating account of a priori justification as grounded in self-evidence. Engaging contemporary debates on the a priori, perceptual knowledge, practical reason, know-how, and action, Seeing, Knowing, and Doing provides a first-rate elaboration of Audi's unique perspective on the normativity of experience for both belief and action. * Peter J. Graham, University of California, Riverside *
