The volume draws on contributions that analyze sounds as secondary objects and pure events, investigate the location of perceived sounds, and examine silence through perception and introspection. Essays also address the philosophy of music, speech sounds, and the motor theory of speech perception, culminating in reflections on how spoken language conveys philosophical messages within the medium of sound.","Sounds and Perception  \nThis page intentionally left blank  \nSounds and Perception New Philosophical Essays  \nEDITED BY  \nMatthew Nudds and Casey O’Callaghan  \n1  \n1  \nGreat Clarendon Street, Oxford ox2 6dp  \nOxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford.
