Q TLAP The conceptual relativist claims that it is not possible to know or observe the real world independently of our theories. That is, what we observe is always influenced and colored by what our beliefs and theories tell us we should be observing. Explain what this claim means by using an example of some object that you can observe inside your room right now. Explain how your prior beliefs and assumptions about what you are looking at influences what you see when you observe that object. Compare what you see when you observe that object to what an alien from another planet might see if he were to observe the same object. Do you agree with the claim of the conceptual relativist?
