Sense Reductionism

Improved Essays
During previous centuries, using Reductionism pattern has been the dominant pattern on sense recognition (seventh sense; p kivi 2008). It was due to the nature of sciences which were in the process of recognizing the notion of sense and human emotion sets. What we need in these sciences is (1) dividing each sense into some fundamental elements, (2) discussing and describing the unique and specific features of each fundamental element in specific science scopes and (3) extracting interactions and communications between senses, if needed for correct recognition of fundamental elements (not sense in its general meaning) (expert system in science; nill wart 2009). On the other hand, even when we use system thinking pattern for sense recognition, …show more content…
Although this subject can help to make decision about functional and existential nature of a determined and specific sense in human structure and about the role of specific sense in reaching a final and ultimate goal of human life comprehensive system, it causes a great challenge, i.e. not considering other senses as parts of a whole system known as human cognitive …show more content…
For this purpose, we need to consider the ideal state of interactions, communications, and creation of response and control systems between all sense dimensions (including known and unknown ones) for reaching the ultimate and final goal of human life comprehensive system. We call this ideal state, major configuration of human sense and at first, we assume that the creator of human sense system (any existence which is the creator of this system and has entire control over the whole system), in a particular combination of interaction, communication, developing response and control structures between all senses, makes it possible for human kind to reach the ultimate and final goal of human life comprehensive system (any goal which is mentioned in introduction). We call such a situation, major and ideal configuration of human sense. Figure 1. shows the overall outline of main sense

This essay will focus on Parfit’s argument of the Branch Line Case and will examine why personal identity matters, a critical perspective and will discuss an objection and respond to the empty question. Parfit argued that being replicated then destroyed resulted in the same outcome as ordinary survival. From the analogy of the Branch Line case, a human body was scanned and then replicated.

    The senses are an early point of connection between these three fields. Physics is clearly implicated, as the phenomena we encounter is based in physics, be it the frequency of a sound wave, the photons and their frequency that constitute light, or the pressure applied to the body that is represented in the sensation of touch. Physiology is the means of translation from physical phenomenon to felt sensation, as the ear and connected nervous system turn a sound wave into a note with with pitch, timbre, and volume, or the eye and connected nervous system turn light into a figure with color, shape, and brightness. Mental philosophy is implicated in the senses when one considers the epistemological question of the day, which was whether or not our experiences of the outside world furnished our knowledge, and if that knowledge could be trusted. British Empiricism, as exemplified by John Locke, was the first philosophy to assert that the senses are the…
