Direct vs Indirect Realism (Philosophy of Perception)

Join George and John as they discuss and debate different philosophical ideas, today they are looking into the Philosophy of perception and assessing Direct and Indirect Realism.
Philosophy of perception is questioning how we view the world, is the true reality that which we immediately perceive and what knowledge can we gain based on what we see.
Direct Realism claims that which we immediately perceive is the exact reality outside of our minds, whereas Indirect realism claims the external reality is actually different to that which we perceive and we do not in fact perceive the external world directly, what we see in our minds is not what truly exists outside of our minds.
Watch as these theories are discussed and critiqued.
