Russell's Theory of Perception

ISBN: 9780826480804 出版年：2006 页码：257 Sajahan Miah Bloomsbury Publishing

In Russell's Theory of Perception, Sajahan Miah re-examines and evaluates the development of Russell's concept of perception and the relation of perception to our knowledge of the external world. With the introduction of logical construction (in which physical objects are constructand possible sense-data) Russell's theory of perception seems to become a causal theory with phenomenalist overtones. Tthat there is a consistency of purpose and direction which motivated Russell to introduce logical construction. The purpose was to strike a compromise between his empiricism and his realism and to establish a bridge between the objects of perception and the objects of physics and common sense.
