When (if ever) should we trust our senses to give us truth? If there is an answer to this question the logical process would be to analyse the critical parts and define key area’s within the argument; and then begin the process to create a logically structured argument that can act as our response or answer (but to what level of certainty?). Our senses are based on our perception‚ our ability to use our combined senses to understand and interact with our environment. Using information from our
