Gottlob Frege on Perception - Dictionary of Arguments

Dummett I 74 ff
Frege: sense impressions alone do not offer the outside world, perhaps there are beings who have only the sense impressions without seeing or feeling things. Having visual impressions is still no seeing of things (without words, without thought)...
>Concepts
, >Thoughts, >Sensory impressions.
Dummett I 74 ff
Capturing of things/grasping: mind, thoughts are "captured" or "grasped". Having: the verb "to have" is used with sensations (even with animals) - this is still no seeing (terms).
Frege: Perception: grasping of a thought (judgment).
Dummett I 89
Frege thesis: the sensory perception involves grasping of a thought or a meaning.
>Judgments.

Berka I 106
