Making sense

Pyrrhonian skeptics and Descartes’s response to skepticism are two interesting reads that make one curious. Pyrrhonian skepticism has a goal which is the suspension of judgment and tranquility, while Descartes brings reason and doubt to the senses about what one perceives and feels. This essay will inform about the Pyrrhonian skeptic and the response Decartes has to the skeptic views. There are two philosophers, Phyrrho and Sextus Empiricus. Phyrrho lived around “360-270 BCE in his hometown of Ellis

If you are finding yourself repeating something over and over again and making mistakes while doing it, then you need to change your approach. When we 're keenly focused on something (which a good thing), it can get our minds so caught up that forget what the heck we 're doing. To avoid this, be mindful of what 's taking place

have assailed me all day, midnight is their time. The void of judgment has remained. It’s dark, but at the end you see a flash of light. So, I walk in the obesity of my mind where the darkness has taken over. The sense of being paralyzed comes to my mind, my fears are woken up and the sense of neglect is off. I smell fear all around. I do not smell the smoke from the burning wood I left. The smell of fear and sweat are much more dominant,I feel my hands are getting sweaty, my body frozen, paralyzed

Sixth Sense Technology provides us a near resemblance of a natural sixth sense, a higher order sense than the five senses we have. Sixth Sense Technology device have a mini-projector and a camera which are connected to a smartphone. Smartphone is used as a computer and have internet connectivity. Camera recognizes any object or person in the view with help of the internet connectivity and important information about that object can be projected on any desired surface including the object itself or

is to chase certainty, what is not doubtful or questionable. He also questions the idea of God; he is not certain of God’s existence. Even more, if God exists, can he be deceived? In addition to questioning everything, he also is questioning the senses. He would learn what is right could be wrong, so to accomplish such reasoning, Descartes states that he would need to look at the fundamental structure or foundations of his beliefs. Through a series of meditations, Descartes will reach his inner

there is a brief overlap between mind and body within the category of perception (one of the sources of knowledge) there is still a clear preference of the mind over the body to the extent that even if we perceive an object’s existence through our senses that object is not considered in existence until it is verified by our mind. (Stanford, 2005) Is this outlook true, and if so what is the purpose of our bodies? Some anthropologists within the field of ethnography seek to rebuttal stating that the

I took the Senses Challenge 3 times, and each time I learned something new. At first I was trying my best to just look at the optical illusions and move the bar to the right spot or choose the correct answer, but I quickly realized my naked eye was faulty. So, the second time going through the test I began using the edge of my phone to measure the bars and, on another question, line then up. This proved successful, but I could not use measurements to determine how much I should enlarge one circle

When I think about what makes me happiest in life, I put my family and friends at the top of the list. I know that there is no way I would be who I am today without them. My family loves me and has taught me most of what I know about how to live. Friends have taught me so much more about myself than I could ever have imagined; how to laugh at myself, how to love myself, how to learn from my mistakes, etc. All these people in my life have given me so much and I have in return offered what I have

The sense of Perception is the knowledge obtained throughout the frequent need of one of the five main human senses, such as taste, sight, hearing, smell or touch. For example, if a tree falls in the middle of nowhere, and no one is around to hear it (including animals), that does not make it a sound (which basically is the wave movement of particles), because only animals and human beings can hear and perceive the movement of those particles through the hearing, as far as we know. Only through this
