Focusing on the functions and capacities of perceptual states, Burge accounts for their representational content and structure, and develops a formal semantics for them. The discussion explains the role of iconic format in the structure. It also situates the accounts of content, structure, and semantics within scientific explanations of perceptual-state formation, emphasizing formation of perceptual categorization. In the book's second half, Burge discusses what a perceptual system is. Exploration of relations between perception and other primitive capacities-conation, attention, memory, anticipation, affect, learning, and imagining-helps distinguish perceiving, with its associated capacities, from thinking, with its associated capacities. Drawing mainly on vision science, not introspection, \u003cem\u003ePerception: First Form of Mind\u003c\/em\u003e is a rigorous, \u003cbr\u003eagenda-setting work in philosophy of perception and philosophy of science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTyler Burge, \u003cem\u003eFlint Professor of Philosophy, UCLA\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTyler Burge is Flint Professor of Philosophy, UCLA, where has taught since 1971.
