- Direct Realism Problems
- Problem 1 - perceptual variation
- Russel's table - a shiny, brown table seems different at different angles therefore not seeing it as it is
- Problem 2 - illusion
- pencil in water appears to bend but when felt is straight
- so disproves that we see things the way they are
- pencil in water appears to bend but when felt is straight
- Problem 3 - hallucination
- cannot distinguish between percieving something which is there something in reality isn't there
- implying a hallucination is real
- problem 4 - time lag
- see a supernova which occured 6000 years ago (light takes long time to travel)
- DR says we see things as they are we aren't seeing them as they are as we are seeing them 6000 years too late
- see a supernova which occured 6000 years ago (light takes long time to travel)
