W.V.O. Quine on Seeing - Dictionary of Arguments
XII 100 Seeing/Vision/QuineVsTradition: it is not about the problem if there is an unconscious two dimensional radiation or a conscious three dimensional perception. - instead: stimuli. Also QuineVsGestalt Psychology: if we have only stimuli, then there is no problem, whether we have a gestalt or atoms. >Gestalt theory, >Perception. XII 100 Seeing/Quine: old mystery: Problem: how to solve the epistemological priority: The retina is irradiated two-dimensionally, yet we see things three dimensional without conscious conclusion. Problem: what should be considered as observation, the unconscious two dimensional or the conscious three dimensional? Tradition: here the conscious had priority. New: now we can drop consciousness because we explain observation through stimuli. This makes old paradoxes about unconscious data and chains of conclusions that would have to be completed too quickly obsolete. Gestalt Theory/Gestalt Psychology/Quine: VsSense Atomism. QuineVs Gestalt Psychology: no matter if shape or atoms push themselves into the foreground of consciousness, we take the stimuli as input. >Gestalt Psychology. Priority is what is causally closer. QuineVsAntipsychologism. XII 101 Protocol Sentence/Vienna Circle/Quine: there was a debate in the Vienna Circle about what should be considered an observation or protocol sentence: a) Reports on sensory impressions b) Elementary statement about the outside world c) (Neurath): Reports on the relation between perception and reality. Quine: the worst thing was that there was apparently no objective decision. Solution/Quine: we look at them unreservedly in the context of the outside world. Def Observation Sentence/naturalized epistemology/Quine: the sentences that are causally closest to the receptors. Problem: how to measure the distance? Solution: Observation sentences are those that make the least use of stored information in language learning. However, there can be no total independence from stored information. >Holism, >Network/Quine, >Logical particles, >Observation sentences, >Observation language, >Observation._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
