The new realists did not want to acknowledge representationalism at all but later embraced something akin to Aristotle's form of realism: blackness is a general quality that many objects have in common, and the nervous system selects not just the object but the commonality as a fact.
Uued realistid ei tahtnud tunnustada representationalismi, kuid hiljem võtsid omaks midagi sarnast Aristotelese realismiga: pimedus on üldine omadus, mis on paljudel objektidel ühine ja närvisüsteem ei tunnusta faktina mitte ainult objekti vaid ka nende ühtsust.
