Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, Vol. 10: Containing the Papers Read Before the Society During the Thirty-First Session, 1909 1910 Such a method is open to the difficulty that it proceeds slowly and begins with very simple and general description. But it will not overlook in its proper place any genuine element of what can be observed. For instance, it is plain that the object of sense-perception is saturated with interpretation. This raises no difficulty for the method, but it raises a serious problem, if, as I maintain, the first result of the method is to declare that the object of sense-perception is never mental but external. How, in that case, can the interpretation which is supplied by the mind be, as it is, a constituent of the object? This is one of the questions upon which I hope to throw light. (2) As analysed by this descriptive method, a perception, say the perception of a tree, is resolved into the fact that there are two things, the act of perceiving, which is consciousness, and the external or physical thing, tree. This analysis is misunderstood to be an appeal to common-sense, and the same thing is, I suppose, intended when it is described as naive realism. By naive realism is meant the bare assertion without evidence, or the assumption that there is an external thing of which we are conscious. But the descriptive method makes no assumption, and is therefore not naive realism. Nor does it appeal to common-sense, which, as Mr. Stout rightly says, f has never entertained the question at issue, and cannot therefore furnish an answer. The doctrine is, indeed, as remote as possible from common-sense, and it demands some effort of thought and imagination, at least on my part, stoutly as I uphold its truth, to keep the truth in question from slipping away from me.
