The Problem of Philosophy
I think it’s interesting the fact that he pose the question, how do we know if the table is real? He shoots down any key observations that anyone would make right off the back. The different colors of the table were also very interesting. It is true when light hits a table, you can see all kinds of different aspects of it. The sense data is another interesting component. I believe the mind automatically tries to make sense of the little information that it gets. It’s kind of like an optical illusion. One of the most famous optical illusions is the never-ending staircase, and the black dots in between lines. Our mind tries to find a way to fill in the blank, and make the image into something
