  • What is knowledge?
    • Direct Realism: perceiving physical objects independent on our existence with it
      • How do we perceive objects? We perceive them based on physical appearance
    • Sense data: content of sensation and appearance ie. what we sense isn't the same as reality
    • Illusions
      • In illusions we see sense data
      • Illusions are subjective and hard to distinguish
      • Pencil in water is not crooked- it has a property of looking it
      • Water can distort objects which means direct realism is still correct
    • Hallucinations
      • we perceive something having properties
      • If it appears real, it is real
      • The mind saying something is real is how you would react had it been real
    • Disjunctive theory of perception
      • No objects is seen
        • If something appears a certain a way, it looks like it but isn't it
          • hallucinations tell us that we don't perceive things, we imagine them
