Abstract (EN):
In Seeing Things As They Are - A Theory of Perception (Searle 2015) John Searle claims that all seeing is seeing-as. The thesis in fact encapsulates his intentionalism about perceptual experience. In what follows I suggest that Searle’s intentionalism embodies what Wittgenstein thought should not be said about seeing-as (Wittgenstein 2009). Based on recent interpretations of Wittgenstein on seeing-as (Schulte 2016, Baz 2016, Travis 2016). I try to spell out the nature and the implications of the head-on clash between Searle’s and Wittgenstein’s positions regarding seeing-as. I finish by discussing whether an alternative to intentionalism as a view of perception does indeed emerge from Wittgenstein’s remarks on seeing-as.
