It’s a VISUALLY ambiguous perception influencing judgement. It’s a great example.

Can we trace this all the way back to the medieval and even classical Greek ideas about the active/passive intellect?

Well there are clearly and distinctly two psychological ( mental ) actions going on here. One is perception which is neurobiological and the other is our identification or interpretation of what we perceive which is conceptual. Perception is indubitable ( foundational ). Otherwise you contradict yourself.

Not planning one in the epistemology course, although I'd probably do Feyerabend, whom I really like, in a philosophy of science course. I do have a video on Two Dogmas of Empiricism on the channel.

@Victor Gijsbers - In your view, is it possible that artificial intelligence is an attempt to respond to the epistemic problems that Hume and Kant raised?

In what sense? I'm not sure I understand the question! (To be honest, I think most current artificial intelligence deserves the name 'intelligence' only in the most derivative of senses.)

@VictorGijsbers After 200+ years of empiricism, is the desire for AI an unconscious attempt to find a properly basic epistemic starting point for metaphysics and ethic?

@@andrewpirr I hope not, since AI as we have it today isn't even epistemic at all. (When we're thinking about things like LLMs at least. Of course there are also attempts to implement logical reasoning and so on in AI systems.) But I can't claim to know about people's unconscious motivations. 😅

*Seeing the brown table* does imply other things, even if our subject has no access to concepts. 1. It implies a subject, a mind, for one thing. 2. It also implies numerical concept of one vs. many. 3. Space & time. If one is "seeing the brown table," there must be an "over there" at which the table is located. At a certain point in time. 4. That crafting a judgment/intelligibility exists.

a fact itself doesn't imply anything, but a statement about a fact does? At least if you use implication in the sense of it being a logical connective

Would you agree that the givenness of things though in itself not helpful to calls of judgement/action could be the way things are in themselves, prior to any conceptualization?

I have recorded three videos on testimony: one on reductionist (Humean) views; one on non-reductionist views, which I call 'testimony and trust'; and one on questions about testimony as transmission. They'll come up in about 10 days or two weeks or so.
