, >Propositions, >Attribution, >Appearance, cf. >Berkeley.

Facts about having propositional supervene facts about the appearance - i.e. first the observation must be explained. Without reference on what it means to be a thing, it needs to be explained what it means to be regarded as a thing - then you can say that there is no fact about which things are red - VsPhenomenalism: has notoriously failed - Cartesian dualism appearance as a basis certainty "that it seems to me". >Supervenience, >Facts.
