Does the person who has not learnt
language know || Should we say that the person who has not learnt the
language knows that he sees red but
can't express it? –
Or should we say: “he knows what he sees but
can't express it”? –

Imagine we described a totally different experiment; say this, that I
sting someone with a needle & observe whet
her he
cries out or not || makes a sound or not.
Then surely it would interest us if the subject
26
whenever we || often when we
stung him saw, say, a red circle.
And we would distinguish the case when he cried out & saw a circle
from the case when he cried out & didn't see one.
This case is quite straightforward & there
is no problem
about it. || seems to be nothing problematic in it.
