Perceiving the Objective and the Experience of Other-Produced Invariance
The claim that the objective is perceived to be what is unaffected by self-produced perceptual change does not, as Natsoulas stated, entail that perception would be indirect. His criticism that we cannot by introspection confirm that we normally perceive the objective to be what is unaffected by self-produced change fails because self-monitoring that which is objective and directly perceived does not alter its ontological status. I also answer th…
The Experience of Perception and Its Physical Basis as Views of the Relation Between Perceiver and World Perceived
Gibson's account of the experience of perception is crucial to his theory. There is, accordingly, a need to relate his account of the perceptual experience to the physical conditions that explain perception, that is, the physical basis. I consider the experience of what remains invariant during a self-produced perspective change. This experience is of both object and subject. The corresponding physical basis includes object perceived, the optic a…
Berkeley's Ambiguity
The subject of this study is an ambiguity which is deeply rooted in Berkeley's arguments against matter. By a is shift between two meanings of the term ‘sensible’, he is able to construct a simple “refutation” of matter. Berkeley then attempts to show that this argument is irrefutable. The ambiguity of the original argument is, however, contained in the train of supporting arguments. My purpose in bringing attention to this ambiguity is not just …
Scientific Preconceptions in Locke's Philosophy of Language
The purpose of this paper is to show how two ideas, both related to science, influenced Locke's philosophy of language. One idea concerns the nature of matter; the second is about the nature, method, and purpose of science. It will be argued, first of all, that Boyle's corpuscular hypothesis was the assumption on which Locke based his belief that language cannot represent the real nature and structure of things and, consequently, that language is…
