| Title: | The significance of the senses |
| Authors: | Nudds, Matthew |
| Issue Date: | 2003 |
| Citation: | Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, 2003 |
| Abstract: | Standard accounts of the senses attempt to answer the question how
and why we count five senses (the counting question); none of the standard
accounts is satisfactory. Any adequate account of the senses must explain the
significance of the senses, that is, why distinguishing different senses matters. I
provide such an explanation, and then use it as the basis for providing an
account of the senses and answering the counting question. |
