To be able to distinguish the individual sounds and more importantly, the individual superimposed vibrations travelling to the listener, the auditory system, and the architecturally designed environments, have specific methods that allow the listeners ears to…

In the book “On Academic Scepticism,” the argument of the senses is presented between the Stoics and the Academics. This argument is represented by Lucullus who defends the Stoics view that the senses contain the highest truth, and Cicero who represents the Skeptics who believe that the senses are faulty.
