Excerpt from Elements of Physics
Means by which we obtain a Knowledge of Nature. - We are provided with means of gaining a knowledge of the things about us. We hear sounds, we see light, we smell odours, we feel heat, we feel the contact of other things, and we taste. Thus we have six gates through which information concerning the outside world may reach us. These gates are called senses, and any information received through one of them is called a sensation. Moreover, we have the power of reasoning; and through our senses, aided by reasoning, we acquire what knowledge of nature we can.
Our Senses Sometimes Deceive Us
It must not be forgotten that we are often deceived by our senses, or, it may be, by our reasoning.
