12. Knowledge Sources / B. Perception / 2. Qualities in Perception / d. Secondary qualities

7440	Secondary qualities are microscopic primary qualities of physical things [Armstrong]
	Full Idea: I argue for the direct identification of the secondary qualities with microscopic primary qualities of physical things.
	From: David M. Armstrong (Pref to new 'Materialist Theory' [1992], p.xxii)
	A reaction: This sounds a bit like the eliminativism which Armstrong rejects. This seems in danger of mixing questions about the nature of mental events with questions about the nature of externally perceived objects.
