Chapter 18 The Bodily Senses
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is no single sense for perceiving our own bodies, any more than there is a single sense for perceiving the external world. Nonetheless, folk wisdom groups bodily sensations together—unlike the five external senses, which are intuitively distinct. In part this may be because the systems that produce an experience of arm position, an itch, or an upset stomach, lack obvious sensory organs. In addition, bodily sensations are private (you can see what I see, but you cannot feel my body as I do), and the properties of our bodies that they track are often obscure. In this chapter we focus on three broad systems of bodily perception: interoception, the vestibular system, and proprioception. Our main goal is to argue that they constitute (collections of) sense modalities, while discussing some of the philosophical issues they raise.
