| Abstract | Besides seeing a rabbit or seeing that the rabbit is grayish, do we also sometimes see barely just the particular animal (not as an animal or as anything) or the feature rabitness or grayness? Such bare，nonverbalizable perception is called "indeterminate perception" (nirvikalpaka pratyak.sa) in Nyaaya. Standard Nyaaya postulates such pre-predicative bare perception in order to honor the rule that awareness of a qualified entity must be caused by awareness of the qualifier. After connecting this issue with the Western debate concerning the "myth of the given," seven distinct arguments are presented showing that the very notion of such indeterminate perception is epistemically otiose and that the Nyaaya theory of perception is better off without it. |
