« Sensorium Dead End »
Sunday, October 9, 2011 Cognition (and, thus, knowledge) is limited by the sensorium. While we can technologically extend the quantitative range of our senses we cannot transcend the qualitative basis of our sense-powered cognition. All of our senses are wave-based. We channel physical waveforms into neurological patterns down several sensory paths (e.g. vision, hearing, etc.). But, seems to me, reality may also manifest in ways that are qualitatively different from wave-based phenomena. If so, some aspects of reality may be fundamentally outside of our perception range. Sensorium is the epistemological dead end.
