| Appearance, Philosophy: Apart from logical insights we receive all our insights through our senses. Therefore, it is believed that this knowledge is not only fundamentally fallible, but is more or less pre-structured by the nature of the sense organs. This structure is not necessarily so in the world outside the perceiving subjects. Because of the linguistic prestructuring of our approach to ourselves the inner life of the subjects is also not unfailingly recognizable. See also appearance, truth, certainty, knowledge, epistemology, introspection, incorrigibility._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Donald Davidson on Appearance - Dictionary of Arguments
McDowell I 167 Appearances/Davidson: exert a rational influence on our view of the world, as one may say. It is not the case that the sensations, the impact of the world on our senses, impose rational demands on our empirical thinking. >World, >World/Thinking, >Reality. At most in a very complex way: they lead to the formation of opinions, but they do not specify what the subject should think! >Beliefs. ((s) erminology: Davidson himself does not speak of appearances.) ((s) Cf. >responsibility towards the world/McDowell.)_____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
