Full Idea
The Adverbial Theory of perception holds that the predicates which other theories take as picking out the properties of objects are really adverbs of the perceptual verb; ..instead of strange objects, we just have properties of experiences.
Clarification
'Adverbial' because we don't see a blue object, we 'see bluely'
Gist of Idea
The adverbial theory of perceptions says it is the experiences which have properties, not the objects

A Reaction
