I have researched into concepts whilst you was still suckling.Sculptor wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 4:28 pmNo way.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 8:11 am Note your claim is that your perceptions do not entail concepts.
My point is the perceptions of all things will necessitate concepts.
If you perceived a tree, there must be a pre-existing concept of tree in your brain for you to understand all the waves input into your brain represent a tree.
A person who has never seen a tree, and has no concept of a tree when apprehending such a thing for the first time can perceive that which is a tree without the need for a concept of it.
If we were to take you pov to a logical conclusion no one would EVER be able to see a new thing.
I'm not sure what thus says about your view on the world, but the outcomes do not look good.
There are two types of concepts, i.e. via nature and those via nature.
Where you [as a baby] are drawn to your mother's tit it is because you have some sort of pre-existing concepts via nature that, that object is necessary for your survival.
It is the same with seeing a tree as a "tree" [roughly] based on some pre-existing concepts [adapted via evolution] and with greater precision later upon acquiring more precise concepts.
