Philosophy is done by asking questions.

Josh D (+Frank, +McKenna)

Please could you explain in more detail how simple seeing relates to thestatements regarding Ayesha (from the last video in lecture 03)?

I feel like I'm close to understanding why each statement is/isn't a case of simple seeing but I don't fully get why.

Does it just relate to perceiving it vs perceiving the indicator and inferring its presence?

simple seeing

‘Seeing objects is a way of getting information about them. .[...] What makes it X (rather than Y) that we see is that the information these internal events carry is information about X (rather than Y).’

Dretske 2000, p. 112

Key characteristic of simple seeing: if X is the F, then S sees X is equivalent to S sees the F.

Dretske, 1969 chapter II; Dretske 2000 chapter 6

How do you know about it?

perceive it

vs

percieve indicator, infer its presence

Which of these statements would plausibly report a case of simple seeing?

People say funny stuff about perception

‘I see Ayesha’

‘I see Ayesha’s hand’

‘I see that Ayesha has a question’

‘I see that Ayesha wants to ask question’
