I 5
Perception/experience/tradition/Peacocke: experience has a content.
>Empirical content, >Content
On the other hand:
Feeling/sensations/tradition: sensation has no content. - E.g. sensation of smallness.
It may nevertheless be a certain sensation.
>Knowledge, >Thinking, >World/Thinking, >Distinctions.
I 16f
Experience/PeacockeVsPerception Theory/Tradition: more than just perception: emotional content, not merely representative content: e.g. tilted cube: jumps over, the network of lines looks completely different (perception).
On the other hand: e.g. rabbit-duck-head: the line web does not change, therefore the perception theorist could claim that there are two representational components:
a) the lines,
b) Rabbit/duck
>Rabbit-duck-head, >Perception theory/Peacocke.
Perception theory: translation variant: the missing property must be introduced in suitable statements. PeacockeVs: this would only provide a priori knowledge, not empirical knowledge, since the postulated type of experience could not be missing.
- Vs added terms: these do not have to be available to the clueless, so they do not change the truth or falsity.
>Overdetermination of the representational content.
Overdetermined: the angle could be changed by appropriate overlapping without changing the picture.
I 199
Experience/Peacocke: also non-inferential experience is possible.
Doubts: are inferential, always from conclusion.
