I want to thank Cheerskep for taking the time to answer to my post. I think
you get my point. I need to develop a philosophy of perception in order to
have a theory of communication (communication thru visual arts or/and music).
We could extend the conversation but I am not sure it would be appropriate in
this forum. However since Cheerskep mentioned words, I would like to bring
Kant and most recently Sir Alan Gardiner, sociologist Alfred Schutz and
psycholinguist Ragnar Rommetveit. They all said that it is very difficult to
use public words to express private perceptions. In 1929 C.I. Lewis said that
common reality is a social achievement projected by agents each with differing
subjective access to the world. Havenbt speaker and hearer different angles
of intentional perspective? B (Words as hypotheses?) We must bbehave as
ifb. Intention is fundamental.
