"Why do we have five senses?
...the senses might be claimed to be distinct in virtue of the role of the sense organs, or of psychological processes, or of different physical stimuli in the production of perceptions... ...there are accounts which claim that perceptions count as of different senses in virtue of what objects or properties they are perceptions of... ...there are accounts which claim that perceptions count as of different senses in virtue of properties of the experiences involved. One perceives something with a particular sense in virtue of one's experience of that thing having a certain kind of experiential property. ...according to my account, having a certain kind of experience may be sufficient, as things actually are, for a perception to be an instance of seeing; it doesn't follow that it would be sufficient in all circumstances." |
