1.8 Summary
I have attempted an analysis of the general conception of perception
against the Lockean conception by considering the classical doctrines
and operations across disciplines and processes. I went further to
discuss Locke’s account of sensitive knowledge. I also characterized
perceptual knowledge as analyzed in Lockean epistemology and in relation
to object knowledge specifically. The process of incorporating ideas in
perceptual knowledge was articulated. I attempted an analysis of
Locke’s argument for direct realism with questions on the certainty and
uncertainty in mind.

There is some dispute over whether these are meant as arguments for a
distinction between primary qualities and secondary qualities or simply
as illustrations of that distinction. For the former, see Margaret
Atherton, “Ideas in the Mind, Qualities in Bodyâ€, in Ideas in
Seventeenth Century Philosophy, edited by Philip Cummins and Günter
Zoeller (Atascadero, CA: Ridgeview, 1993), 117-118.
