Perception and knowledge

The article claims that there is a connection between the theory of perception and the account of knowledge one is able to provide. Using the standard definition of knowledge as justified true belief, the permutations of justifiedness and the truth values allow the introduction of Gettier situations. The study of cases shows us that the object of perception has its role in this. There are two basic approaches to the direct or indirect form of perception, coextensive with the intensity of the mind/brain activity in the process, and thus in explaining the stimulus to be a distal or proximal one. The Gettier cases are the ones where the mind/brain could be said to a play crucial role in perception.
