Experience/PeacockeVsPerception Theory/PeacockeVsTradition: Experience is more than just perception: sensation-like content, not merely representational: E.g. tipping dice: jumps, the network of lines looks completely different. >Sensation.
On the other hand:
E.g. Rabbit-Duck-Head: the network of lines does not change, therefore the perception theorists might argue that there are two representational components:
a) the lines,
b) Rabbit Duck Head.
>Rabbit Duck Head.
Perception Theory: Translation variant: The missing properties must be introduced into appropriate statements.
PeacockeVs: that would only provide a priori knowledge, not empirical, because the postulated experience type could not go wrong.
Vs added terms: they do not have to be available to the naive person, so they do not change the truth; Overdetermination of the representational content.
>Representational content.
Overdetermination: the angle can be changed by appropriate overlapping without changing the picture.
I 20
Perception/overdetermined/overdetermination/Peacocke: E.g. the angle could be changed without changing the representational content.
Such problems arise when one tries to construct a sensation-like property (e.g.size) as a representational property.
