- 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
- If something appears a certain a way, it looks like it but isn't it
- No objects is seen
- Direct Realism: perceiving physical objects independent on our existence with it
