Conclusion

In this chapter we considered the issue of perception. We looked at the different kinds of perceptions that we have and at different theories of perception. Reflection and scientific evidence suggest that it is possible for some of our perceptions to be wrong, but this does not mean that we must embrace phenomenalism or indirect realism. In the next chapter, we explore the issue of justification.

What are the different kinds of perceptions that we have?

What does direct realism affirm, and what are its strengths and weaknesses?

How does indirect realism differ from direct realism?
