Wilfrid Sellars on Evidence - Dictionary of Arguments

I 30
Appearance/Sellars: the evidence for the experience differs as little as the experience.
I 27
Report/statement/Sellars: phrases like "This is green" both have a facts-declaratory and a reporting use.
E.g. Tie seller John must learn to suppress his report. I.e. the report on his own sensory impression which contradicts the fact that he has learned: under different illumination the colors can change.
John says now: "this tie is blue". But he makes no reporting use of this sentence. He used it in the sense of a conclusion.
Report: experiences, feelings, sensations.
On the other hand:
Determination: conclusion, facts.
>Experience
, >Sensations, >Facts, >Conclusion; cf. >Ideal observer, >Standard conditions.
