If a man born blind were to gain his sight in later life would he be able to identify the objects he saw around him? Dr Morgan examines the whole history of this debate. He shows how this debate is involved in the development and eventual separation of philosophy and experimental psychology after the eighteenth century and considers why the original question is effectively still unanswered.
