    Haptic perception of an object is truly perceptual, whereas tactual sensation on one's skin is not.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Truly perceptual experiences are spatial experiences.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Haptic experiences of objects are spatial.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Tactual sensations on the skin are not spatial.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Tactual sensations on the skin carry spatial information about location, pressure distribution, and texture across a bodily surface.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If spatial content is the criterion for genuine perceptual experience, tactual sensations qualify on the same grounds as haptic perception.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The supporting argument's P3 is empirically false, collapsing the distinction it relies upon.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Husserl's analysis of the 'Doppelempfindung' shows that skin sensation presents both a felt object and a sensing body simultaneously, yielding intentional directedness toward the world.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Intentional directedness toward an external state of affairs is a sufficient condition for genuinely perceptual experience, not spatiality alone.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Therefore, tactual sensation meets the core phenomenological criterion for perception independent of whether it is spatial in the manner haptic object-perception is.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    According to A. D. Smith (2002), perception requires the possibility of achieving different perspectives on perceptible objects through self-movement. This comes with the existence of perceptual constancies (see Burge 2010 for the importance of perceptual constancies). However, unlike other perceptual objects, the body cannot be felt from different perspectives. Smith thus claims that bodily sensations are mere sensations; they do not count as perceptual. Likewise, Matthen (forthcoming) distingu
