 Considering modalities other than vision enhances our understanding of perception. It is necessary to developing and vetting an adequate comprehensive and general account of perception and its roles. Auditory perception is a rich territory for philosophical exploration in its own right, but it also provides a useful contrast case in which to evaluate claims about perception proposed in the context of vision. One of the most promising directions for future work concerns the nature of the relationships among perceptual modalities, how these relationships shape experience across modalities, and how they may prove essential to understanding perception itself. Philosophical work on auditory perception thus is part of the advance beyond considering modalities in isolation from each other.
