What is being
tested?
It could be said of his
philosophical method that
its aim is to change the
aspect under which certain
things are seen - for ex-
ample, to see a mathematical
proof not as as a sequence
of propositions but as a
rule, to see first-person
reports of psychological
states .. not as descriptions
but as expressions, and so on.
The 'understanding that con-
sists in seeing connections',
one might say, is the under-
standing that results from a
change of aspect.

and where might the first photo be from
ReplyDeletemay i ask?
This photograph comes from a tumblr whose address I forget; I adjusted its exposure somewhat; I don't recall that I cropped it,although I might have done. The other photos were similarly sourced and adjusted to suit the palette I was seeking, with the second being considerably cropped. Thank you for visiting.
