(2000) Functional models of cognition, Dordrecht, Springer.
According to a naive understanding we perceive the world — with all its particular objects and characteristics of these objects — as it actually is. From our everyday's point of view stones are stones, trees are trees, tables are tables, and so on and so forth. No mentally healthy person, it seems, can have serious doubts that a stone is really a stone, a tree is really a tree, a table is really a table, etc. Since philosophers have expressed such doubts, there is either something wrong with their mental health or there is some substance to the question whether we perceive the world and all its particular objects and characteristics of these objects as they "really" are.
