Class discussion

This is what we were saying in class...
  • How do you know that what your senses are telling you are reality? Senses give an accurate picture of reality. It is not true for everyone- ex. Skitso. You can not assume that everyone is relying on their senses to give them a clear reality.
  • We can be self aware of what our senses tell us, but you can defy your senses. ex- mirage.
  • How we interpret masses of sense data? Example, the masses that believed the world was flat.
  • Proof of existence, can't judge the world is real, but look back on own thoughts and judge whether they are real
  • If you cant escape it, it is a reality...?
  • Sense are an individual thing. Only you can sense and feel it, and believe it to be true.
  • your rational mind is telling you what you see with your senses could not possibly be real. Your senses tell you things in which your mind says no, that can't be real.
