  • Smart's Essay 'Sensations And Brain Processes'

    690 Words  | 2 Pages

    In J.J.C. Smart’s essay, Sensations and Brain Processes, he disagrees with dualism as he believes that states of consciousness and brain processes are similar. He presents a case where he reports that he sees a round and yellowish-orange after-image. He describes various perspectives about what he is actually reporting. He claims that he could not be reporting anything, and that this after-image is only the result of him having a temptation to say that he sees it. Another example involves an individual reporting pain, and, like the after-image example, he or she could not be reporting anything as well. In regards to both the reporting of the after-image and pain, Smart disagrees with the claim that these reports are “irreducibly psychical,” (Rosen 372) which means they cannot be reduced to mental properties.

The loss of any of these could have affected the survival of our Ancestors, but in modern times, the partial to total loss of any of The Five Main Senses does not carry the same danger. However today, losing one of our main senses can be uncomfortable and isolating, but it does not mean that our useful lives are over. The loss of each of the senses has a different consequence, methods to cope with that loss, and feelings attached to that loss, both by the person affected and the rest of society.

  • Sensation And Senception: The Process Of Sensation And Perception

    742 Words  | 2 Pages

    Sensation refers to the process of sensing what is around us in our environment by using our five senses, which are touching, smell, taste, sound and sight. Sensation occurs when one or more of the various sense organs received a stimulus. By receiving the stimulus, it will cause a mental or physical response. It starts in the sensory receptor, which are specialized cells that convert the stimulus to an electric impulse which makes it ready for the brain to use this information and this is the passive process. After this process, the perception comes into play of the active process. Perception is the process that selects the information, organize it and interpret that information.
