Sense

Generalising, all of our physical senses are stored as subconscious memories – the people, objects (even apparitions and the supernatural), etc. which may appear in our dreams are comprised of our knowledge of the external reality. Memory fragments are ubiquitous in all forms of cognitive processing – stored memories enable the brain to construct mental content. As a result, an individual’s perception will vary according to the memories and knowledge accumulated by the physical senses since birth, and consequently

can or not, what is unconscious must have once been conscious. For this reason, a potential response Locke would give to Hume with reference to the ‘missing shade of blue,’ is that even if one is able to fill it in, they would still be using their senses in some way to access that knowledge and perhaps it would be “knowledge made out of a long train of proofs,” which highlights the mental fatigue factor in play. With regards to Locke’s theory of knowledge, he holds that knowledge is divided into

at the same time through smartphones and other digital devises. Yet, in the other hand, the idea of a technology that can fundamentally alter the way we experience reality without us noticing is quite un-clear. While we choose individuality in the sense of self-construction, many factors merge together to shape our new perspective on the world. We gain our understanding of self within our culture, values, society and memories, and in this way we understand and interact with the world around us. And

and is the highlight of one of the major clashes in the history of philosophy - the difference of opinions between rationalists and empiricists. Empiricism is the theory that the inception of all knowledge is through experience sensed via the five senses - sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch. Rationalism is the theory in philosophy which claims that reason is the ultimate source of human knowledge. Rationalists and empiricists take contrary ideas on how knowledge is attained. The argument between

because the book they were reading was filled with suspense. It is suspense that separates the great stories from the good stories. And “The Most Dangerous Game” is definately a great one. By using foreshadowing and utilizing his characters five senses, Connell keeps readers at the edge of their seats, eagerly waiting to find out what comes next. Foreshadowing is a vital ingredient to any suspenseful story. It hints at the idea that something is off-kilter, without ever revealing exactly what

known, as a direct experience of cause, cannot be sensed. Locke believed that all knowledge is derived from our senses, which produce impressions on the mind which turn to ideas, whereas Hume's believed that all knowledge is derived from experiences,

splits the sentences up where they normally wouldn’t be split up, so that gives that sense of unfamiliarity, so we begin to question what the words actually mean. If a person attempts to read it as a normal sentence, we would see that someone is eating a plum, the street is a paper bag, and something is in her hand. The reason I believe the lines are broken up in a “weird” way is because it’s trying to give that sense of unfamiliarity to get an audience to focus on what this stanza is really trying

can lead to conflicts and discussions on the fact that each person can perceive things differently. One way speaking people perceive and understand things by using their five senses: seeing; hearing; smelling; feeling and tasting. People can have different perceptions of reality by means of drugs, diseases or some kind of sense deficient, such as blindness, deafness or muteness.

“By justification we are saved from the guilt of sin and restored to the favour of God.” But how can one be assured their faith has been justified? Assurance was a heated debate during the reformation period. It is apparent that Wesley wrestled with how to verbalize this piece of salvation puzzle as his critics found his ideas to be contradictory at times. For sake of clarity, only the explicable attributes for assurance will be brought forth. First and foremost, God is the source of assurance

Descartes was a metaphysical philosopher whose main goal was to obtain and isolate lasting scientific knowledge due to the long-held beliefs that were being disproved during his lifetime. However, this proved to be quite difficult as the majority of his previously held beliefs were either doubtful or able to be proven false. In an attempt to work towards his goals, Descartes developed his Dream Doubt argument. When first analyzing this argument, it is important to analyze it for all its premises
