Uncertainty in Blurry Vision

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter provides an account of the perceptual unclarity in blurry visual experiences. The account is framed in terms of attitudes of perceptual uncertainty. I begin by detailing several characteristics of blurry experiences, including their borderline elements, boundarylessness, and filled-in contents. I argue that several extant accounts of blurry experiences fail to accommodate this full set of characteristics. I then provide a positive account, argue that the account accommodates the full set of characteristics, provide some positive support for the account, and defend it against a recent objection.
