9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 6. Nihilism about Objects

21652	Our perceptual beliefs are about ordinary objects, not about simples arranged chair-wise [Hofweber]
	Full Idea: The belief that there are simples arranged chair-wise is not a perceptual belief. Our perceptual beliefs have a content about ordinary objects, not simples arranged chair-wise.
	From: Thomas Hofweber (Ontology and the Ambitions of Metaphysics [2016], 07.3.1)
	A reaction: Hofweber gives ontological priority to 'perceptual beliefs'. I'm inclined to agree, but I hear the critical hordes swarming against the gate.
