Three of the most important philosophers of perception are Rene Descartes, Bishop Berkeley, and MIT's beloved Gian-Carlo Rota. In a brief but serious class, we will explore Rota's philosophy of founding and synthesize it with Cartesian skepticism and Berkeley's world of perceptions. The scientific world will emerge as a mere consistency of one's perceptions.
