I 424
Form/appearance/BrandomVsPhenomenalism: "it looks as if" just holds back approval.
I 426
Error: Understanding appearance as a cognitive act, about which one cannot be wrong - otherwise the mind would consist of infallible representations - Solution: errors and failure are not applicable here - approval that cannot be given cannot be held back - also error: attempt as an act that (as such) cannot fail.
I 428
Appearance/Phenomenalism: goes beyond supervenience: > Reductionism: perceptual conditions can only be formulated in terms of the way things are - E.g. Something cannot just appear to seem to be red without really seeming to be red. E.g. you can try to lift a weight, without actually lifting it, but you cannot just attempt to try it without really trying.
I 425
Form/appearance/Sellars: two uses: 1. E.g. the chicken seems to have a certain number of spots, but there is no specific number, which it seems to have - 2. Distinction between
a) it looks as if there is a tree
b) there is something that looks like a tree
c) over there is a tree
Understanding/Brandom: here, it "seems to be red" requires it "to be red" - Appearance: is not iterable (trying to do smomething: ditto).
