Summary
Ranging from eighteenth-century poetry and haptic theories of vision, to fiction and contemporary problems of consciousness, to landscapes in which all matter is sentient, to cognitive science and the rise of the novel, Paper minds shows us the distinctive knowledge that literary texts and criticism can offer about topics that matter.
