I will here again describe the
kind of thing that
happens in your mind and otherwise when you recognize a person coming
into your room by means of what you might
say when
you recognize him.
Now this may just be: “Hello!”
And thus we may say that one kind of event of recognizing a thing we
see consists in saying “Hello!” to it
in words, gestures, facial expressions, etc. ‒ ‒
And thus also we may think that when we look at our drawing and see it
as a face, we compare it with some paradigm, and it agrees with it, or it
fits into a mould ready for it in our mind.
But no such mould or comparison enters into our experience, there is
only this shape, not any other to compare it with, and as it were, say
“Of course!” to it.
As when in putting together a jig-saw puzzle, somewhere a small
space is left unfilled and I see a piece obviously fitting it and put
it in the place saying to myself “Of
course!”
But here we say, “Of course!”
because the piece fits the mould
138.
whereas in our case of seeing
the drawing as a face, we have the same attitude for
no
reason.
