Is this sensed or imagined?

3 posts in this topic

Are you sensing this post or imagining it or both or neither?

By sensing I mean experiencing it with a sense organ. By imagining it I mean experiencing it without a sense organ.

What evidence do you have to support your perspective?

Have you heard about the concept of top-down and bottom-up processing? It shows how your experience of the world is neither fully explained by discrete sensory inputs nor by a fully dissociated imagination. So your question might involve a false dichotomy (the example I brought up is not the only way to make that case).

You'd first have to grasp what "this" is before asking any further questions about it.

So clarify "this" first. In other words: What is experience? And perhaps: What is perception?
