What is in the Mirror? The Metaphysics of Mirror Images in Albert the Great and Peter Auriol
Original language description
What is the perceptual content of a visual experience of an object seen by means of a mirror? This chapter adresses the fact that the mirror image is a peculiar entity that seemingly defies a neat demarcation between the mind and the extramental physical world. It explores how the issue of mirror perception was treated by two medieval philosophers: the Dominican thinker Albert the Great (c. 1200–1280) and the Franciscan Peter Auriol (c. 1280–1322). The main question is what kind of entity they deemed the mirror image to be. The consequences and troublesome features of both accounts are considered and the solutions to these are collected from their works. Also, the question of how their conceptions of mirror perception cohere with their general theories of perception is addressed.
