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

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Shoemaker's standard model of perception requires that perception allows for identification and re-identification of perceived objects
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The body senses seem to give access only to a single object, namely one's own body
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 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 against 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
