12. Knowledge Sources / B. Perception / 4. Sense Data / d. Sense-data problems

8854	My 'acquaintance' with sense-data is nothing like my knowing New York [Williams,M on Russell]
	Full Idea: My 'acquaintance' with sense-data is nothing like my knowing New York.
	From: comment on Bertrand Russell (Knowledge by Acquaintance and Description-1 [1911]) by Michael Williams - Without Immediate Justification §4
	A reaction: This pinpoints a nice difficulty for Russell. Williams may misrepresent Russell's account of acquaintance, but that is probably because Russell is unclear, or uncertain. The problem is when Russell claims that his acquaintance gives knowledge.
