Pythagoras discovered 36 months ago- The Problem of Perception
One pervasive and traditional problem, sometimes called "the problem of perception", is created by the phenomena of perceptual illusion and hallucination: if these kinds of error are possible, how can perception be what it intuitively seems to be, a direct and immediate access to reality?- The Problem of Perception

- The Problem of Perception from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Sense-perception, the awareness or apprehension of things by sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste, has long been a preoccupation of philosophers. One pervasive and traditional problem, sometimes called the problem of perception, is created by the phenomena of perceptual illusion and hallucination: if these kinds of error are possible, how can perception be what it intuitively seems to be, a direct and immediate access to reality? The present entry is about how these possibilities of error challenge the intelligibility of the phenomenon of perception, and how the major theories of perception in the last century are best understood as responses to this challenge. Annelise Editorial: i have recently come to question my reliance upon my senses to tell me what is real and what is not...i have been diving into the murky waters where reality and unreality lose distinction...for that matter both notions have entirely lost meaning...perception through the senses has failed me in proving not to be a direct and immediate access to reality...more and more i realize that it is all my head, not in the perceived world, where reality occurs...trust me, i have felt things that were not there in the physical realm...i am not crazy (shut up) and have not had what i would qualify as hallucinations...i have merely stepped out of the bounds of traditional perception of reality and into a new one...no big deal, really, other than the nagging taste of a brand new existential crisis in my mouth...how fun!...good for me!...bring on the sickness! Truth and The Beholder ~Annelise (2007) Behold It is truth incarnate Speaking to me Glimmering and tempting So real, so real Dazzling and alluring Whispering to me It is unreality kissing Reality
