These few last days I discover with great interest more in details Thomas Reid theory of perception and his criticism to the Way of Ideas.
His theory and also clear writing style I feel and hope will leave a improving impact on my views.
Nevertheless I have still some unanswered questions questions about some of it’s points.
Thomas Reid in his Essay on the Intellectual Powers of Man, chapter V, distinguish three conditions (or characterizations) for perception: for S to perceive x i) S need to have a notion or conception of x, ii) S need to have irresistible conviction of x (or in other words a certain belief that (?) x), iii) x need to be non-inferentielly acquired.
The conditions (ii) and (iii) seem to be plausible and easy to understand. Whereas the condition (i) need to be explained in more details. However I didn’t find in chapter V a fully satisfactory explanation of it. Specially , because I don’t see at first glance, as seemingly some other scholars (lost reference) that this need for this cognitive faculty of recognition of a given in perception differs radically from representationalist’s theory of perception.
On the other hand, it seems that still a reidian has here sufficient elements for explaining (i) for example as non conceptualized, non part of judgment element. More in terms of acquaintance. (lost reference).

On the other hand, it seems that still a reidian has here sufficient elements for explaining (i) for example as non conceptualized, as not-part of judgment but as that what makes sign a sign (as Lehrer indicates in Lehrer 1989). Or more in terms of acquaintance (James Van Cleve in ed.Terence Cuneo and René van Woudenberg 2004).

French analytic philosophy journal (REPHA), makes a permanent call for papers.
Appel à contribution Permanent de REPHA:
Le comité éditorial de REPHA est heureux d’annoncer que son appel à contribution est désormais permanent !
REPHA est une revue francophone de philosophie analytique, orientée vers les jeunes chercheurs et les étudiants avancés.
La revue respecte les standards académiques (le principe de sélection « double aveugle », des rapporteurs du comité de lecture compétents).
Les articles devront être introductifs, argumentatifs, clairs, concis et pertinents (nous souhaiterions particulièrement qu’ils traitent de la situation actuelle relative à chaque domaine). Les articles attendus ne doivent pas dépasser 14 000 signes, soit environ 4-5 pages dans une configuration habituelle (A4, police 12).
Nous acceptons les formats suivants : .doc., .rtf, .txt, .tex, .odt, .lyx mais non .pdf. Les articles seront présentés de façon anonyme à un comité de lecture. Nous prévoyons deux numéros par an mais cela dépendra avant tout de l’afflux des envois. Les personnes intéressées sont invitées à envoyer leurs articles (libres de droits) sous la forme électronique à l’adresse mail : postmaster AT repha POINT fr
