Abstract William Molyneux, who was dedicated to the experimentalism of the Royal Society, had no use for a priori speculation, but he was fond of posing his question about the newly sighted man. The question concerns a man born blind who has learned to distinguish a solid cube from a globe by touch. If he were made to see, could he immediately distinguish those figures by sight alone? Neither Molyneux nor those to whom he posed this question had closely observed the behaviour or someone cured of congenital blindness. Neverthel , Molyneux thought he knew the answer to the question. The once-blind man would not be able to distinguish the figures by sight alone.
