I. Hacking on Seeing - Dictionary of Arguments
I 309 ff Seeing/microscope/Hacking: We see diffraction instead of refraction, therefore, this is not "proper seeing". The resolution into two separate images does not turn them into real dioptric images. I 314 Different from this: using a telescope is proper seeing. >Observation, >Method. I 317 Microscope: with the microscope there is a stronger interaction (coloring, etc.). I 318 But you do not need a theory to use a microscope, just to build it. I 334 We need biochemistry to use our microscope. I 346 Microscope: in the case of the microscope we do not talk about "seeing". Nevertheless this is not a petitio principii, we are convinced that the structures are in place. I 437 The elimination of faults is not an improvement in the theory. >Progress, >Theories. I 324 View/vision/seeing/theory/explanation/Hacking: what you see is best explained by the Fourier analysis - but you do not need the explanation to see. >Explanations, >Best Explanation._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
