	Objects of Perception [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Perception lies at the root of all our empirical knowledge. We may have acquired much of what we know about the world through testimony, but originally such knowledge relies on the world having been perceived by others or ourselves using our five senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell.
		Intentionalists emphasise parallels between perceptions and beliefs. Beliefs represent the world: I now have a belief about the pencil tin (the one that used to contain olive oil), and this belief represents that particular part of the world as being green.
		There is, then, a key difference between the strategies of the intentionalist and the disjunctivist: intentionalists answer the argument from illusion by claiming that veridical and non-veridical perceptions have a type of representational state in common, whereas disjunctivists undercut the argument by claiming that there is no need to posit such a common factor.

	Epistemology - Origin of Knowledge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		By equating perceptions and beliefs with truth, overt self-contradiction is avoided.
		Philosophical skepticism is the position which critically examines whether the knowledge and perceptions people have are true; adherents of this position hold that one can never obtain true knowledge, since justification is never certain.
		This is a different position from scientific skepticism, which is the practical stance that one should not accept the veracity of claims until solid evidence is produced.

	John Locke
		Thus perception is a triadic relation, rather than simply being a dyadic relation between an object and a perceiver.
		The picture would copy the original object in the external world, but because our immediate object of perception is the picture we would be prevented from seeing the original just as standing in front of a painting on an easel might prevent us from seeing the person being painted.
		Yet Berkeley attributed the veil of perception interpretation of the representational theory of perception to Locke as have many later commentators including Bennett.
