Truth can be described in the theories of correspondence, pragmatism and coherence. Truth can generally be defined as the nature of being in agreement with certain facts and realities. It's about making correct and informed connections between facts and reality. The senses can be defined in terms of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. The senses were used to determine aspects of reality and, above all, through appearance. The appearance of things has been used on most occasions to express judgments relating to reality and truth. This article will explore whether the senses can be used to provide us with truths. One of the arguments that can be made from the discussion is that the senses indisputably provide facts about the appearance and formation of certain things (Holt 1). The way one person sees a certain object is the same way another person will see the same object. For this reason, facts are indisputable when the senses are applied in interpreting things that happen in our daily lives. By obtaining facts and information about certain things, the senses provide an avenue from which to base our arguments. First, the senses provide us with the appearance of objects, which may not necessarily represent the reality of the facts. For example, magicians are known to perform certain stunts and activities that seem real when interpreted at the level of our senses. Usually, however, reality is hidden through artistic expertise and for this reason the appearance of these manifestations cannot be considered the truth. We cannot therefore take the senses into consideration to give us the truth about certain concepts. Rather, the senses provide an individual with insight into the problems present and with... middle of paper ......ng, and smell can tell an individual the basis of certain problems. It is therefore important that individuals use their emotions and reasoning to determine ideal truths, rather than relying on the appearance of events recorded by the senses. The analysis illustrates that it is not possible to rely on the senses alone to make decisions regarding the availability of truth from certain concepts. There is a need for other approaches, and in particular empiricism and rationalism, in order to develop a stronger relationship to gather the elements of truth. Works Cited Christian, James L.
