E. Tugendhat on Perception - Dictionary of Arguments
I 203 Perception/Tradition: Perception refers to particulars. TugendhatVs: In reality perception refers neither to singular nor to general, but it is like. The like on the side of the individual and on the side of the general. >Generality. Individuals/Tugendhat: Linguistic-analytically, the consciousness of Einzelnes is just as little sensuous as of generals. Consciousness/Tugendhat: The reference to individuals is much more problematic than the consciousness of generals, which has a sensuous preform in the consciousness of the similarity. I 204 Sameness of Perception/Tugendhat: Here we must distinguish between the introspective and the behaviorist approach. Introspection: the like sensation or conception, does not correspond to the range of use of our ordinary predicates. >Introspection. Therefore, the conceptualist felt compelled to postulate a non-sensory conception, since there is no sensory conception corresponding to all red hues. >Conceptualism. Behaviorism: that an organism perceives in the same way is established in such a way that it reacts to stimuli in the same way. Conceptions are not needed. >Behaviorism. Perception/Tugendhat: Sameness as a psychological basis for the use of a predicate can only be invoked behavioristically. >Equality. I 458 Methodology/Method/Tugendhat: We must not yet presuppose perceptual objects at all. Therefore we must ask: "How is the situation to be established in which it is to be determined whether the predicate is true?" Answer: by distinguishing one space-time location from all other space-time locations.
