One of the most famous images, if not the most famous images in #philosophy is the ‘duck-rabbit.’ It was made famous by Wittgenstein, and it's all about the idea of ‘aspect perception.’ Here's the problem:  Look at this image and tell me if you think it's a duck or a rabbit. Because it can't be both. Because a duck cannot be a rabbit. So, it's either a duck or a rabbit. But this changes depending on you. The object itself is fixed. If you go away for a cup of tea, it'll be exactly the same, but something in your understanding or perception is shifting the object between a duck and a rabbit, and we cannot definitively say it is either.  In his #Philosophical Investigations, #Wittgenstein draws a distinction between two different types of seeing: first, we have the direct and standard kind of seeing, which is the stuff which comes through your eyes. But we also have the ability to ‘recognize an aspect.’ This is where we see an object as a thing.  Let us suppose that two people come across an abacus. It might be that someone who doesn't know what an abacus is assumes that it's some kind of toy, a game, or perhaps just an odd ornament. You, though, see an abacus. In this instance, you are ‘seeing as,’ which means you see the object as a tool to be used in a certain way.  The duck-rabbit image reveals to us the power of #learning and our induction into rules. When a #teacher says to you, ‘This is an abacus,’ or your parents say, ‘That is a rhino,’ they are stepping into your head and telling you how the world is to be. #epistemology #knowledge #perception
