Abstract

In contemporary terms, this short paper is about perceptual reference. In Kant's terms, the topic is intuition. The
main explanandum is that intuition can indeed be understood in terms of
perceptual reference. More specifically, I examine two issues with two
intermingled questions: How, on the one hand, should intuition be
understood when it comes to perceptually referring to locally present
macroscopic objects, such as chairs and tables? How, on the other hand,
should intuition be understood when it comes to perceptually referring
to huge objects that cannot be perceptually present to us in their
entirety, such as oceans, galaxies, and ultimately the world itself?
