Theory of Perception

What is theory of perception?

Guess: Statement that proves that the things we see, smell, taste and hear is the way that they are.

Standard theories of perception:




Direct realism: things we see, smell, taste and hear is the way that they are.
Problem: variation among individual and in self

Indirect realism: there's a real world, there are mind-independent objects, mediated (to connect, dispute) through senses, artificial stimulus of brain produces 'real' sensation 

Veil of perception: All we actually receive is the veil that cover the world, a veil that consists go our sense data.





Idealism: Inventor - Berkley;The not-so-naive but totally crazy theory of perception. God is the immediate cause of all perceptions.
