The Ecological Approach Should Reject Bad Epistemology

Dr. Rob Gray does good work in the Ecological Approach to perception and training, and I’d like to see him dig deeper into it and develop his basic ideas more. So here’s one way, in my opinion, he can get rid of an unintended contradiction, and make his position stronger.

I’m striving to be in line with this:

“How to compose a successful critical commentary:
“1. You should attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly, and fairly that your target says, ‘Thanks, I wish l’d thought of putting it that way!’
2. You should list any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. You should mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.”

From: “How to Criticize with Kindness: Philosopher Daniel Dennett on the Four Steps to Arguing Intelligently.”
