Can you defend the argument that the image you see through a window is the same as the original object itself?

Question

From a philosophical perspective, I'm talking about perception and reality here.
think of the following three entities...

A. The original object
B. The image of the original object (Make of this as you wish)
C. The image of the original object as seen through the window

Do you think anything is lost or gained between perception and reality here?

I myself argue that the origibnal object itself and the image of the orginial object as seen through the window are two differen things as one is the object itself, and the other is only an image.

I'm particularly interested in the following.. the image of the object, and the image of the object as seen through a window... are they the same, or is anything lost or gained?

Answer 1

i do not think that an apple will lose some of its appleness if seen through a window. my perception has nothing to do with its appleness.

Answer 2

Absent proof to the contrary, what you see is what it is.

Is anything lost or gained between perception and reality?

Until you or the object are affected by the other in some way, there is no loss or gain in any form.

Answer 3

the image that you see through a glass cannot be the same as the original image itself.impossible! mirrors and glasses are known for their ability to change objects.

Answer 4

There is an old Chinese saying that you see in front of your eyes what is at the back of your mind.
