Three important concepts discussed in the Three Dialogues are perceptual relativity, the conceivability/master argument [a] and Berkeley's phenomenalism. Perceptual relativity argues that the same object can appear to have different characteristics (e.g. shape) depending on the observer's perspective. Since objective features of objects cannot ...
Inference, a valid mode of cognition, is based on previous perception, and an erroneous perception negates the value of perception. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The first three of the afore-listed five theories admit that the object perceived illusorily is, in one way or the other, existent; the remaining two, do not accept this contention.
