J. M. Hinton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Michael Hinton (1923(?)-2000[1]) was a British philospher. He was a lecturer at the University of Oxford from 1958 and a fellow of Worcester College, Oxford from 1960.[1] He was previously a lecturer at Victoria University College.[2]

Hinton is widely cited as the first modern proponent of the disjunctive theory of perception.[3][4] This view is set out in his 1973 book Experiences: An Inquiry Into Some Ambiguities[5], and in some papers dating as far back as 1966.
