ABSTRACT
The only properties of objects or events that are immediately perceived by sight are: color, light and shade, shape, size, motion, and spatial relations. Two important points about sense-impressions may be mentioned. In the first place, it seems that statements that simply ‘record our current sense-impressions’ are incorrigible for the person who makes such a statement, at the time he makes the statement. In the second place, it seems that sense-impressions can be more or less determinate. Statements recording current auditory sense-impressions are incorrigible for the reader, and auditory sense-impressions may be more or less determinate. The immediate objects of the sense of taste are tastes. Smell requires no independent treatment. The remarks made about taste apply equally to smell. In the case of sight and hearing, the authors mark sense of the importance of the contrast by using different words.
