The hypothesis casts light on many other troublesome phenomena, including the varieties of illusion, the problem of projection, the notion of a visual field, and the existence of sense-data.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47614487068823,"sku":"9780198238515","price":17839.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198238515.webp?v=1775094103","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-theory-of-sentience-9780198238515","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
