The "space is engaged… summoned into an exchange in a way that supports movement and groundedness while it hones the sense of direction" (Monk, 2002, p. 231). As my bare feet touched the sandy bank of that river, my young soul felt the pull of the environmental possession.

the ideas and philosophical beliefs behind skepticism. In his writings, he describes the fallibility and importance of the body of man and through extension the senses with which we observe the world. This paper will first show that within Descartes’ writings the body is an extension of the mind. Secondly, this paper will prove that the senses are a false form of understanding which leads to the deception of the mind. Finally, this paper will address the inconsistency that arises from these definitions

Then, the personal experience is grows commonly and getting much richer in content and act as a tool to explore a space towards environment with fulfil human needs, create emotion and a place to store memories. Writing in his architectural manifesto, Thinking Architecture, Peter Zumthor mirrors Heidegger’s

By the time The Republic was written the term had a new meaning. Instead of the method previously described, it was now used to describe what something is. “The Republic stresses that true dialectic is performed by thinking solely of the abstract and nonsensible realm of forms; it requires that reason secure an unhypothetical first principle (the Good) and then derive other results in light of it” (Meinwald). In later dialogues like Parmenides, dialectic is used to understand forms in the proper

Perceptual Illusions Many of us take our vision for granted. We seem to accurately use our properties of vision with little effort or thinking at all. At times we often see things with our eyes and wonder how can this be possible? Physicist Richard Feyman once wrote, "It's quite wonderful that we can see or figure it out so easily. Someone who's standing at my left can see somebody who's standing at my right -- that is the light can be going this way across or that way across, or

more than individual activities because there are more interactions and associations. Also, most people feel more fun and excited when they’re with friends or families, which is one of the reasons why people make friends and associate in groups. The sense of unity is portrayed both directly and indirectly in his poetry. In the poem “Digging”, Heaney directly mentions “My father” and “My grandfather”, and implications such as “the old man” to reveal that the activity is a family activity. In the poem

“See What I’m Saying” is true to scientific facts and offers material that can help to deepen and expand one's sensory experience. The book is full of amazing examples of individuals utilizing their senses in ways that seem unreal. It is interesting, attention-grabbing and can show just how magical ordinary life can be. While admitting that I did not believe that I would like this book at first, after reading I found it to be far more thought provoking than ever imagined. I especially loved the end

agreeable or disagreeable sentiments which are the basis of moral judgement. Secondly, I conclude from Smith’s propositions that the mind is a passive recipient, therefore moral knowledge is a by-product of external stimuli. In other words our external sense stimuli provoke a change in our minds, from which our imaginations produce sentiments by which we judge the propriety or merit of another’s conduct. At first appearance, Smith’s notion of sympathy seems to imply that moral approval is subjective because

Joe Tilson’s Nine Elements, produced in 1963, is created on a massive scale at 259 cm in height and 182.80 cm across. It was purchased in 1983 by the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art One, and has resided there since.

knowledge roots from our perception. Perception is the way humans sense the world outside the body. We perceive through our five senses: see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. Humans gain knowledge through experiences and experience through perception. Usually we can trust our senses to perceive our surroundings effectively but there are times we misperceive. Illusions, hallucinations or impediments of the accurate flow of information to our senses are examples of misperceptions. For example if someone hits
