Ten si všiml, že naše poznání okolního světa nevychází z věcí samých, které jsou nám více či méně nepřístupné a „dávají se“ jen v různých zkušenostech, zejména smyslových. Tak se člověk, který „vidí“ psa, ve skutečnosti setkává pouze s fenoménem, jak mu jej zprostředkují různé zrakové, případně suchové a jiné vjemy, jež ovšem závisejí i na dalších okolnostech, například na osvětlení, kvalitě jeho zraku, předchozích zkušenostech. Proto se může stát, že domnělý pes se ukáže být vlkem nebo něčím jiným."

Ten si všiml, že naše poznání okolního světa nevychází z věcí samých, které jsou nám více či méně nepřístupné a „dávají se“ jen v různých zkušenostech, zejména smyslových. Tak se člověk, který „vidí“ psa, ve skutečnosti setkává pouze s fenoménem, jak mu jej zprostředkují různé zrakové, případně suchové a jiné vjemy, jež ovšem závisejí i na dalších okolnostech, například na osvětlení, kvalitě jeho zraku, předchozích zkušenostech. Proto se může stát, že domnělý pes se ukáže být vlkem nebo něčím jiným."
