Abstract

Forthcoming in European Review of Philosophy, 7Our auditory experience involves the experience of auditory objects sequences of distinct sounds, or parts of sounds, that are experienced as grouped together into a single sound or stream or sounds. In this paper I argue that argue that we cannot explain what it is to experience an auditory object in purely auditory terms; rather, to experience an auditory object as such is to experience a sequence of sounds as having been produced by the same source
