Observational Judgments

In this case the idea of taking something at face value does not I want to say apply since there is no intention to create an appearance of rain. It is rather that I see something water running down a window which is in many circumstances a criterion of rain. The concept of rain is irrelevant to a description of what appears that is of what is visible before me. And one final remark going back to the other judgments which I am in a position to make straight off. I want to end by returning briefly to these and seeing whether any light is shed on them by the kind of account of our entitlement to straight off observational judgmentswhich I have just developed.
