Document Summary
Primary quality that is sensed by more than one sense, you can see or feel it moving. extension, motion and solidity. Berkeley argues that from a different perspective motion appears differently, can"t be said to be identified with an external object. Because the realist wants to present a quality that you perceive of the thing as identical of the qualities that thing has if something is in motion you can have perspectives of different things between individuals. Idea that time is measured by succession of ideas all in a continual pattern this is our experience. Qualities can be interpreted different from one perspective then for another, proves that there can"t be hard qualities that cause ideas because if they were the same they wouldn"t be perceived differently by different individuals. You can"t perceive the cause of something, you perceive something that you"re sensing not what caused it, the experience of resistance.
