• Resumen

  • In this paper, I respond to Millar’s recent criticism of naïve realism. Millar provides several arguments for the thesis that there are powerful phenomenological grounds for preferring the content view (the view that to perceive is to represent the world to be a certain way) to naïve realism (the view that to perceive is to stand in a primitive relation of acquaintance to the world). I intend to show that Millar’s arguments are not convincing.
