    Elephant,

    'Perceptive', you mean. OK. So Matt, I suppose what you are saying is that you don't have much reason to talk about 'sense-perceptible' at all, not normally anyway.

    Matt, it looks like what you are saying is 'I see what I see'. Why would anyone challenge that? I see all kinds of things all the time, although I don't see many tigers. Like, just now I see I'm going on a bit but that I might turn out to have a point if only I can see it through.

    So that's Matt.

    Matt:
    Well, that was strange Mr. Philosopher. I think what I mean is a bit closer to "Truth as correspondence works with tigers." I'm a typical neo-pragmatist, if that helps. All I want to say is that typical perceptions that people have, like of rain and tigers, can be subject to a "test" like "correspondence," like looking outside or peering into the jungle. Nothing controversial like representationalism.
