1. Prosecuting
Perception
By Karina, Andrew and Chino

2. What is Perception?
- Sense Perception
- 5 senses
- Dream argument

3. Why is perception not a significant
way of knowing
● Not easily observable
● observable data can create bias
● "objectivity" may mask "subjective"
● knowledge is grounded in observable "facts" and is
thus termed objective
● Example: Hallucinations

4. Questions
● What is the role of culture and language in the
perceptual process?
● Given the partially subjective nature of perception,
how can different knowers ever agree on what is
perceived?
● Do people with different cultural or linguistic
backgrounds live, in some sense, in different worlds?

5. Filtering
● Make our own biases
● Limits our knowledge

6. Senses
● Senses never fully develop e.g. bats
● Rely more on one sense than another
● Guide us to wrong conclusion
