The Illusion of Sense | Hilary Lawson, Rupert Read, Ophelia Deroy
from Philosophy for our times | The Institute of Art and Ideas Podcast · host IAI
From bats to beetles, animals sense the world differently in order to survive. Yet we think seeing and feeling tell us how things really are. Might our senses be radically limited? Are science and logic routes to escape our sensory limitations, or is feeling the rain on our skin the closest we get to truth? Cognitive neuroscientist Ophelia Deroy, philosopher and author of Philosophy for Life Rupert Read, and closure theorist Hilary Lawson confront the limits of perception.
