Argument from illusion
- An illusion is a distortion of the senses
-> What you are perceiving is incorrect
Stick in water
A straight stick appears bent in water
You perceive the stick to be bent while it is actually straight
-> Therefore, what you are directly perceiving is false.
---> A direct realist would perceive and believe the stick is bent while it isnt, therefore you are perceiving the stick indirectly but sense data directly.
