II The Significance of the Senses

Matthew Nudds

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

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.
