Yes, everything we perceive is a perception.Terrapin Station wrote:In different posts you both seemed to be saying that (a) we're necessarily conscious of perceptions...
Not so. A "non-conscious perception" is not a perception (...it is an oxymoron!). "Perceiving" is an action; verb. "Perception" is the object of that action; noun.Terrapin Station wrote:...and (b) you seemed to be making a distinction between perceiving and perceptions where perceptions are not necessarily something we're conscious of.
We perceive perceptions.
We sing songs.
We experience experiences.
We dance dances.
