According to an intuitive claim, in saying that one sees a picture’s subject, i.e., what a picture presents, in the picture’s vehicle, i.e., the picture’s physical basis, by ‘in’ one does notmean the spatial relation of being in, as holding between such items in the real space. For the picture’s subject is knowingly not in the real space where one veridically sees the picture’s vehicle. Some theories of pictorial experience have actually agreed with this intuition by claiming that the picture’s subject lies in a pictorial space of its own, disconnected from the real space that includes the picture’s vehicle. Yet, not only linguistic evidence suggests that when used as above, ‘in’ means precisely that very relation, but an appropriate theory of pictorial experience can justify the above claim.

Abstract
According to an intuitive claim, in saying that one sees a picture’s subject, i.e., what a picture presents, in the picture’s vehicle, i.e., the picture’s physical basis, by ‘in’ one does notmean the spatial relation of being in, as holding between such items in the real space. For the picture’s subject is knowingly not in the real space where one veridically sees the picture’s vehicle. Some theories of pictorial experience have actually agreed with this intuition by claiming that the picture’s subject lies in a pictorial space of its own, disconnected from the real space that includes the picture’s vehicle. Yet, not only linguistic evidence suggests that when used as above, ‘in’ means precisely that very relation, but an appropriate theory of pictorial experience can justify the above claim.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
