Abstract

A ‘perceptual demonstrative’ thought is a thought of the kind standardly made available by a perceptual link with an object, and standardly expressed using ‘this’ or that’. This chapter is an introduction to a range of questions about how perception of objects enables us to form perceptual demonstrative thoughts about them.
