Sense of place

yourself or the activity in play. “Mental imagery should not focus on the outcome but on the actions to achieve the desired outcome.”(Mac) Imagery involves many senses, these senses are brought up with the thoughts in your mind. These senses include kinesthetic sense, visual sense, tactile sense, and olfactory sense. Individually, each sense plays its own part in creating the overall picture or situation occurring. To start off with, kinesthetic…

Though humans have been perceived and acknowledge matter through senses including taste, smell, sight, touch, and hearing, but activity of the brain is not considered to be a sense. Descartes believed that there are solely two substances to ever exist, mind and matter. Descartes supposed that the body is nothing but a statue or a machine where the way the body functions can be accounted for mechanically except for the activities of the mind where none can be seen, touched, smelled, tasted or…

created the Cartesian plane and is the author of “Meditations.” In “Meditations,” he mentioned his goal was to want certain knowledge to be firm and lasting, or undoubtable as he explained there are already many things that are deceiving us such as sense data (e.g. optical illusions) and dreams. Thus, he suggested that everyone should doubt old beliefs, old habits, seemingly obvious truths such as 2+3=5, and anything that has deceived people once by doubting the foundational beliefs and by…

way of thinking, but I do not necessarily agree to it. Descartes’s thought development followed a series of points I disagreed with – senses may not be reliable, there are two classifications of reality, and a perfect entity has to exist being as the idea is already in the mind. When Descartes was theorizing on how the mind influences the body, he declared human senses cannot be trusted seeing as they can…

3. Do all animal species use the same senses? Expand on at least three species. As a one of the animal species, human has various senses with the five traditional senses; taste, smell, touch, sight, and hearing, all other animal species has the different types and outstanding senses with different genetical organism and its lifestyle for surviving. Even if some animal shows very similar direction for use its sense, but, in such cases, there are differences between the frequency of use and…

around Riverpark Square, RiverPark Square is a small section of downtown Riverfront park. The smells range from the surrounding restaurants, to the rushing river waters, to the metal architecture that was and placed in Riverpark. A place that creates memories is a place that I will continue to go back and visit. I believe that RiverPark Square is filled with smells to remind the people of memories that they have made in the park. When I hear people talking about being downtown, my mind…

There’s an odd, reality-altering sensation that occurs when one is positioned in a place that doesn’t have a definitive purpose outside of it’s relationship to a following action. Airports, parking lots, and waiting rooms are a few examples of these places called “liminal spaces”. Because they lack familiar context, our brains deem them dangerous. Knowing otherwise, we’re left with a feeling of curious wariness and expectant unease. This rush of adrenaline and abruption of butterflies is what I…

However, this is still a rather broad, though still important, comparison between these three philosophers’ modes of thought when it comes to sense perception and knowledge of the world. Therefore, it would be apt to delve more deeply into each brand of thought while noting changes along the way. First, then, one should consider Aristotle and start by clarifying the stage upon which Aristotle’s thought is set. Prior to Aristotle, change was considered to have not existed since something cannot…

considering, and may contribute to why being full is related to the holiday. Science is gaining ground on how taste includes information from the other senses and emotions (Briggs, 2013). Just from the information gathered here it becomes easier to see that this is true. This one sense is responsible for so many missed opportunities that one wonders how the senses work alone or together at…
