Seeing/Goodman: how can I see a bunch of molecules, without seeing a single one of them? How could you say of me that I see a magnet? Or a poisonous mushroom? It might happen that someone asks me if I have seen the football coach in my audience. And I respond falsely to the negative. And even saw the entire audience.
I 107 ff
