Document Summary
Classical sandwich model- hurley (2006), a standard model of the mind that is vertically modular with a sharp distinction drawn between perception and action. Consistent with an account of perception as a staged process that produces generally accurate perceptual beliefs about the surrounding environment. Dretske (1990)- distinguishes between sensory perception (thing vision) and cognitive perception (fact vision) Ordinary cases of indirect perception: seeing that a drink is cold because of condensation, seeing someone has brown hair by viewing a photo. Asks if all cases of ordinary perception are indirect i. e. mediated by appearances: indirect realism- perception is a process resulting in awareness of objective facts via awareness of subjective facts. Dretske applies indirect realism to cognitive perception, but not to sensory perception: direct realist on sense perception, indirect realist on cognitive perception. Perception names a certain inward subpersonal state: allows subject to make use of limited/restricted data (perceptual input) by means of extra- and inter-polating.
