Merleau-Ponty: La perception

Zitat

„En commençant l’étude de la perception, nous trouvons dans le langage la notion de sensation, qui paraît immédiate et claire: je sens du rouge, du bleu, du chaud, du froid. On va voir pourtant qu’elle est la plus confuse qui soit, et que pour l’avoir admise, les analyses classiques ont manqué le phénomène de la perception.“ (p. 9) #Merleau-Ponty #perception #sensation

James: Sensation

Zitat

„When we try to introspect the sensation of blue, all we can see is the blue; the other element is as if it were diaphanous.“ (p. 9) #James #sensation

Berkeley: Ideas Imprinted on the Senses are Real Things

Zitat

„Ideas imprinted on the Senses are real Things, or do really Exist, this we do not deny, but we deny they can subsist without the Minds which perceive them, or that they are Resemblances of any Archetypes Existing without the Mind: Since the very Being of a Sensation or Idea consists in being perceived, and an Idea can be like nothing but an Idea.“ (§90) #Berkeley #ideas #sensation
