Five senses

I, as an individual unit in this community, and I am struggling my best to be a better person in this business world. In order to improve myself, I need to find out what my strengths and weaknesses are. I did Self-assessment Exercises Prof. Bin Ma provide for us. It included eight different categories, which covered Emotional Intelligence, Leadership Style, etc,. Actually, people usually had hard time to search one’s conscience without the help of outsiders. Perhaps, any processes in our life…

Perceiving objects within the vision sense is interesting to me as it explains the process of infants being able to relate to the world. When I see an object I am able to see where it begins and where it ends and how much it actually interacts with the environment. As you are growing up from…

In his article, A. Mark Smith explores area of perspectiva outside of the general idea of its physical process. Smith wanted to argue that perspectivist understand perspectiva as not just perceiving an object, but actually understanding it by using science. He supports this point by using the theory of “cognition by abstraction” to explain how a person comes to know something. Smith’s article outlines the theory of abstraction as a sensible way of thinking and uses the example of physical sight…

One of the simplest physiological differences are the senses, and “how each of us sees, hears, tastes, touches, and smells stimuli can affect interpersonal relationships” (Adler et. al, 2015, pg. 115). Another of which being age, which is constantly evolving to shape our views of those around us and of ourselves…

that invokes a wall that obstructs our search for true knowledge. For example, Bacon argues about the falsehood of knowledge that is solely based on our senses in his quote concerning the Idols of the Tribe “For it is a false assertion that the sense of man is the measure of things” (882). Additionally, Bacon believes that by depending on our senses for knowledge we create our own caves/walls as Bacon stats “the den of his own, which refracts and discolors the light of nature” (882). Through,…

supporting his belief that motion is the cause of heat. He describes the key role motion plays in creating heat through pointing out how motion affects the other senses such as taste and smell. However, Galilei’s stance does not come without opposition, as I will criticize his over-simplistic and contradictory explanation for how we sense the world around us. Galileo begins by differentiating between primary and secondary qualities. He states that objects necessarily have shape, size, place,…

the putrid odor, the awful taste, and the dull color of fish are just some of the factors that push me away. Fish have blessed my health, revolted my senses, and tortured my emotions. The plane that these scaled beasts effect the most is my sensory plane. Effected senses are my burned sense of smell, my scolded sense of taste, and my incinerated sense of touch. I immediately smell the horrific odor before gazing upon one of these magical creatures of pain. This indescribable slab of colorless…

To experience the surrounding world, the human body uses biological systems, senses, to interpret external stimuli and form a coherent, tangible view. The senses consist of seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, and tasting, where seeing and hearing are the most crucial. The perception of the world is the brain’s ability to analyze the incoming sensation messages and relay them back; sensation is both the initial messages sent by the nerves and the complete resulting picture created by the brain.…

It’s All About the Senses Intrusive images, which are involuntary sensations often causing disruption in one’s daily activities, are a very common symptom in psychological disorders such as PTSD, other anxiety disorders, eating disorders, depression, and psychosis. The images can occur in many different forms. They sometimes possess many sensory qualities categorized by their content, vividness, claritiy, color, etc. These images are derived from sensory experiences. In most cases, the…

Philosopher George Berkeley formulates a compelling and idealist argument on the basis of human knowledge and human perception in his work “Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge.” Berkeley founds his argument on the statement “esse is percipi,” which means to be is to be perceived. In his view, we do experience things that create ideas within our mind. Since ideas can only resemble other ideas, our mental ideas can only come from an external world that is also made solely of…
