Title: The Problem of Sound
Abstract:
Though there are many obvious similarities between vision and audition, it is commonly proposed that auditory perception is crucially different from visual perception in lacking an intrinsic sense of depth or distance. Brian O'Shaughnesssy has recently presented an interesting argument for this partly based on an analogy with the idiosyncratic perception of light as such (for example, when we see the light of a distant star). In this paper, I will examine O'Shaughnessy's argument and try to show where it fails.
