Wilfrid Sellars on Evidence - Dictionary of Arguments
I 30 Appearance/Sellars: the evidence for the experience differs as little as the experience. I 27 Report/statement/Sellars: phrases like "This is green" both have a facts-declaratory and a reporting use. E.g. Tie seller John must learn to suppress his report. I.e. the report on his own sensory impression which contradicts the fact that he has learned: under different illumination the colors can change. John says now: "this tie is blue". But he makes no reporting use of this sentence. He used it in the sense of a conclusion. Report: experiences, feelings, sensations. On the other hand: Determination: conclusion, facts. >Experience, >Sensations, >Facts, >Conclusion; cf. >Ideal observer, >Standard conditions._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
