The strongest argument that Descartes presents is the idea that our senses cannot be trusted as the world around us and everything we experience is a constructed illusion. In this paper, I will argue that this argument can be seen as sound as our senses can not be trusted because they are unreliable. In “Meditation I: What Can be Called Into Doubt” Descartes explains to us that the information we are receiving through our senses isn’t inherently accurate. He threw out all the previous…

This response numbs the organism, deadening the senses and repressing memory. Buck-Morss gives, thus, a significant role to memory as a way to be able to really perceive external stimulus. As memory becomes key for the perception of present experience, present trauma creates a constant-past experience…

doubt his opinions, he will. He does this since it is impossible to questions every single opinion. Furthermore, Descartes decided to pick apart his foundations from his sense first.

fall into three categories. External sensations that influence the senses, perceptions of the mind and thoughts constructed through the power of memory and imagination. Moreover, combinations of these ideas harmonise with each other to form our ideas of specific objects. For example, a lemon drizzle cake is described through the various sensations it imprints on us, such as its sweet taste and it citrus infused scent. As our senses perceive these impressions, we associate them to the idea of a…

overly analytical method of seeing that she first began to use as a little girl searching the air for flying insects. But as the chapter progresses, she shifts to a second, arguably preferred method of seeing involving a regression to her most basic senses, followed by a gradual development of perception. Dillard attempts to persuade her readers of the value in the latter kind of seeing by experimentally comparing the two contradictory methods, concluding that this preferred…

Sound is an essential element that encircle our world, information can be gained through listening, which listening is a more advanced sense in that are fundamental to human. According to Helen Keller, hearing is the soul of knowledge and information of a high order. The disable of listening as if detached from the world, sound is also a factor built this nature, as Max Neuhaus mentioned sound has given context to a place.

what he observes, due to his strength of visual imagery and his inspiration to have a solid skill to use visual imagery. Their personal interests and strengths shapes their perception of what they observe when they consciously transform their other senses rather than vision into a virtual visual image.
