This is video 25 in an introductory course on epistemology, the philosophy of knowledge. In this video, we discuss direct realism: the claim that the objects of perceptions, that of which we are aware in perception, are simply the external objects in the world. We also look at the Argument from Illusion and the Argument from Hallucination, which suggest that direct realism can't be true.
