XVI Psychologists have, however, shown that what we are primarily
aware of is not a succession of sense-data but figures-ground
phenomena: Wittgenstein's ambiguous duck-rabbit is merely one such
example. They have also drawn our attention to the existence of
tertiary qualities in perception, such as 'symmetry' and 'elegance'
which are just as directly given as are the perceived colours red,
green or yellow. It is interesting to note that Merleau-Ponty has
made considerable use of Gestalt ideas in his Phenomenology of
Perception. One of the commonest reasons given by linguistic
philosophers for not making direct use of the results of
psychological research (although philosophers are usually willing
to accept the first-hand results of physical science) is that
philosophical accounts of perception and thinking are concerned
with analysing the language in which these reports are made; that
is to say, they are second-order enquiries. Often this approach is
still more restricted and ordinary linguistic usage is taken as the
yardstick against which questions relating to thought and
perception are to be measured. The task of the philosopher is then
con fined to the analysis of ordinary language. If he is more
adventurous, as some writers on philosophical psychology are, he
might go on to show how far the language used by psychological
researchers falls short of the paradigms of common sense.
