  • Philosophers of perception from various philosophical traditions have emphasized that our ordinary perceptual experience involves a sense of presence relative to what is perceived or at least perceptually experienced. (institutnicod.org)

  • Another way to develop a perceptual theory of pictorial representation is taken by projective theories , which analyze pictorial representation in terms of geometrical projections of scenes onto flat surfaces-so a picture of a scene, according to projective theories , is closely akin to the result of tracing the outline of that scene upon a window.

  • Rather the sense of presence marks the psychological mode of our perceptual experiences. (institutnicod.org)
  • According to generalists, neither the contents nor the accuracy conditions of our perceptual experiences are constituted by the objects we perceive. (institutnicod.org)
  • According to some, this is because the objects we perceive enter into the contents of our perceptual experiences, whereas, according to others, it's because they enter into the accuracy conditions (but not the contents) of our perceptual experiences. (institutnicod.org)
  • What the generalist and the particularist are providing us with are equally acceptable ways of assigning contents to our perceptual experiences. (institutnicod.org)
  • In other words, it's simply indeterminate whether the objects we perceive are represented by our perceptual experiences. (institutnicod.org)

  • This led to the development of more sophisticated perceptual theories of pictorial representation-in particular, seeing-in theories , according to which we see-in a picture what it represents, and recognition theories , according to which a picture represents via our ability to recognize things.

  • However, Siegel does not provide an account of the notion of inference that is at play. (lu.se)
  • For instance, we (plausibly) employ deductive rules such as Modus Ponens, ampliative rules such as Inference to the Best Explanation, and perceptual methods that tell us to believe what perceptually appears to be the case. (philarchive.org)

  • Moreover, I argue that my account also provides the most straightforward explanation of the fact that our intuitions pull in the direction of both object-independent and object-dependent content assignments. (institutnicod.org)
  • In the rest of the paper, I argue that this conception avoids the shortcoming of purely "motivational" accounts of belief without denying this status of belief to our acritical intellectual dispositions - a denial which is often implied by standard "truth-directed" accounts. (openedition.org)

  • But in fact the various theories are not obviously inconsistent with each other, and most sophisticated theories borrow elements from their competitors-perceptual theories, for example, can accommodate resemblance in a subsidiary role, and even Goodman suggests that habituation to our system of pictorial representation explains the resemblance of pictures to what they represent.
