Abstract

In the main part of the paper, arguments are presented for the following two theses: first, percepts don't normally have more content than mental images; and second, retentive components of percepts have more content than the sensory ones. Additionally, some remarks are made regarding perceptual perspective and self-identity, inspired by Borges’ short story The Aleph.

Keywords

percept; mental images; retention; perceptual self-identity; J. L. Borges
