I 7
Representation/Content/Peacocke: representational content is the way how the experience presents the world as being.
>Representational content, >Content.
On the other hand:
Informational content: contains the proposition that a bundle of light rays meets the eye.
>Propositional content.
Representational content: has nothing to do with this.
Representational content: is opaque (because of the individual mode of presentation).
>Opacity, >Propositions.
Informational content: is transparent (for the causal explanation).
>Causal explanation, >Causation.
I 9
Representational content always seems to contain indexicals like 'here', 'I'.
>Index Words, >Indexicality.
I 20
Perception/overdetermined/overdetermination/Peacocke: E.g. the angle could be changed without changing the representational content.
>Overdetermination.
Such problems arise when one tries to construct a sensation-like property (e.g. size) as a representational property.
>Properties, >Qualities, >Perception.
