'Our lives have become so impoverished&devoid of all foundations that one staggers, as it were, from one farewell to the next, can no longer distinguish the permanent from the temporary,&, as far as the continuation of our closest human relationships is concerned, dares no more than merely to hope.'

How many senses do humans really have?

In a recent article for @uk.theconversation.com Professor Barry Smith, Director of the Institute of Philosophy (@ip-sas.bsky.social), explores why the familiar idea of five senses may not tell the whole story.

🔗 https://bit.ly/4jUXwAK
Humans could have as many as 33 senses
Even the traditional five senses don’t operate in silo.
