    The body senses do not satisfy Shoemaker's perceptual model because they give access only to a single object

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Shoemaker's perceptual model requires immunity to error through misidentification to be a derivative, not constitutive, feature of perception.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Proprioception and interoception exhibit immunity to error through misidentification as a constitutive feature, not a contingent one.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.When immunity to error is constitutive rather than derivative, the epistemic structure differs fundamentally from standard perception of external objects.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Evans and Bermúdez both argue that genuine perceptual systems must support object-demonstrative thought, enabling 'that object' reference across contexts.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Body senses generate only 'this body' reference, which lacks the contrastive, re-identificatory structure that object-demonstrative thought requires.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Without the capacity to misidentify the object of awareness, the informational channel lacks the referential architecture that constitutes genuine perception on Shoemaker's model.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    The second objection against the perceptual model follows from Shoemaker’s (1994) standard model of perception. On his view, one key condition of perception is that the way of gaining information allows for identification and re-identification of the perceived objects. The difficulty with the body senses is that they seem to give access only to a single object, namely, one’s body. Several answers have been offered to this objection. For instance, Schwenkler (2013) replies that the body senses st
