SENSE ORGAN AND REASON
WRITTEN BY ; ABDULMUTOLIB OTTAN
Can senses alone furnish us with knowledge? It must be noted that the senses alone without the co-operation of reason cannot furnish us with knowledge. Until reason interprets them and gives them meaning, they are simply raw data without meaning. For example, the direct object of the sense of sight is simply colour, when we look, we can only see colour. That is all the sense of sight can furnish us with. It is reason, which tells us that what we are seeing is a tree, a table, a blackboard, an animal, a human being etc. Again, the direct object of the sense of hearing is sound. The ears do not tell us where the sound comes from. We hear the sound of an aeroplane passing, the sound of gunshot, or that of a thunder. It is our reason that tells us, for example, that the sound we are hearing is that of thunder not that of aeroplane or gunshot. Our ears only register the sound without telling us the meaning of the sound.
The same applies to all other senses. When I perceive an odour, for example, it is my reason that interprets the odour I am perceiving and tells me that it is the odour of a decaying animal or cosmetics. When a blind man touches something, the sense of touch does not tell him what he is touching. It is reason that interprets his experience and tells him what he is touching. All these imply that the senses alone without reason cannot furnish us with knowledge.
