Locke's theory of perception



Locke’s Theory of Perception 259
mark beside the name of Locke. For Locke’s own clear naïve
statement of the
problem of perception will have contributed
largely to the final non-dualistic solution. It is evident that
Locke himself never pretended to have explained the details
of the perceptual process. He avowedly had no
theory of
perception, when it came for example to showing how a sen-
sation is “annexed” to the motion of particles in the stimu-
lated sense-organ. Consequently, our purpose here has been
to clarify for ourselves, as Locke did for himself, the
prob-
lem of
perception. Let him who has the wit pass on to its
solution. Before he can, however, he must first have the wit
to see the problem as clearly as Locke did. There is a way
of recognizing a difficulty so intimately that, of this very
intimacy with the problem, the solution is born.
