Resumo: In this article the authors identify and analyse points of agreement and disagreement between Michael Ayers and Charles Travis, starting from their views on 'things before us'. The authors then try to spell out what separates these philosophers in matters concerning perception, knowledge and language. In spite of their both being selfprofessed realists, equally critical of conceptualism and representationalism, Ayers' empiricism and Travis' anti-empiricism lead them to different positions in these three areas. It is shown that in the case of Ayers they hinge on "ordinary" objects and a kk principle (knowledge that and how we know), whereas in the case of Travis they are articulated around occasion-sensitivity and anti-psychologism.
