Topic: Special sense


  
  Special Obligations (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Special obligations are often appealed to in arguments against consequentialism, because consequentialism is unable to accommodate agent-relative reasons and genuinely special obligations are agent-relative reasons.
The third strategy available to a voluntarist defender of special obligations is to argue that while it is not the case that all special obligations are reducible to contractual obligations, nonetheless, all special obligations share the feature of voluntary assumption with contractual obligations.
However, the sense in which a commandant of a camp has obligations of role does not seem to be a moral or reason-giving sense, and it is at least an open question as to whether Orthodox Jewish women have obligations to be submissive to the male members of their community.

 The Special Senses - DESIGN, WORKINGS, AILMENTS, TAKING CARE
However, touch (along with the senses of pressure, temperature, and pain) is one of the general senses that has small sensory receptors scattered throughout the body in the skin (for a further discussion, see chapter 4).
The sense of taste is also influenced by the smell and texture of substances, hereditary factors, culture, and familiarity with specific taste sensations.
Since the special senses are often affected by problems in other parts or systems of the body, it is important to take care of the body as a whole.

Since empowered to call themselves into special session in the 1972 Montana Constitution, lawmakers have done so only once: to extend by 11 days the 1973 session so they could complete their work.
Special sessions are gnarly, ugly and chaotic, usually with little party discipline.
Shortly afterward, I banged out my thoughts on special sessions and hung them in the Capitol press room, which is now a women's restroom.

 Aristotle (384-322 BCE): General Introduction [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Species on this scale are eternally fixed in their place, and cannot evolve over time.
Sense perception is a faculty of receiving the forms of outward objects independently of the matter of which they are composed, just as the wax takes on the figure of the seal without the gold or other metal of which the seal is composed.
Reason is opposed to the sense insofar as sensations are restricted and individual, and thought is free and universal.

 Organ Systems - Special Sense Organs
Traditionally, the five special senses have been defined as taste, smell, sight, hearing and feeling.
However, touch is now considered to reflect the activity of the general senses, and equilibrium, or balance, can be thought of as a new fifth special sense.
The principle function of the special sensory receptors is to detect environmental stimuli and transduce their energy into electrical impulses.

 Inner Sense until Proven Guilty - Eric Lormand
Whatever the merits of this as an argument against meddling sense data, it does not affect the present view, which is not committed to sense data (see the previous accusation).
In blurred vision, we may innerly sense of a certain O-state (say, a perception of an edge) that it is in a causal interrelation with an unusual set of other O-states (say, states that involve neurons unusually and poorly "lined up" in the retinotopic maps in primary visual cortex).
Dretske objects similarly to the idea that sensing a state—being "conscious of" the state, in one sense—is sufficient for a state itself to be conscious (phenomenally or otherwise).

 Dollars and Sense in Special Education and Rehabilitation
For example, it makes sense to abide by the mandates of the disability legislation and ensure that hiring of qualified people with disabilities (PWDs) is not limited to government alone; rather, a certain percentage of employees of any employing entity should comprise qualified persons with disabilities.
It also makes sense to understand that, in addition to the problem of limited funds, impediments to funding special education and rehabilitation services in Liberia are buttressed by myths and misconceptions regarding people with disabilities.
Furthermore, it makes sense to understand that, to effect the necessary monumental change, it is imperative that stakeholders, the media, and the public in general be educated relative to the presence, rights, and potential contributions of people with disabilities.

 SENSE DATA AND THE PERCEPT THEORY
That special sense of the word "see", he says, "which is the visual variety of what Berkeley called 'direct perception'.
It follows, therefore, that in order to understand what philosophers mean by the term "sense-datum", we must supplement our analysis of whatever explicit statements they may have made on the subject, by a careful examination of the examples which they have given.
But the second objection to the Sense- datum Theory has implications which are even more serious, especially for those theories which maintain that physical objects are all, in some more or less literal sense, "composed of" sense-data (or of possible sense-data).

 SoundStage! DVD Review - The Sixth Sense
While I have to admit that I put the clues together early on in the film, I was nevertheless satisfied to discover the relevance of the whole story when the final secret was disclosed in the end.
This is particularly offensive when purchasing a special edition release optical disc of a favorite film.
Even though I didn’t find the subject matter of this film particularly compelling, the strength of the performances and the way the very texture of the film was crafted combine to encourage me to give this film a very strong recommendation.

But in a broader sense, it is the ability to see the invisible, non-sensory forces that motivate people's behaviors.

 Undead Don't Have Special Eyesight
Again, the simplest answer is that their senses work like human senses and darkvision is a supplement to that, just like dwarves have humanlike senses with darkvision as a supplement.
Heck, if they can't sense objects, undead monks wouldn't be able to use Deflect Arrows since they couldn't perceive the arrow in flight or even as it was leaving the enemy's bow.
My answer is that there is no lifesense component, that the default senses of any creature are human-normal (in fact, I'd let you create a human senses spell that gave the target human-level senses instead of its own normal senses, but for most creatures that would be pointless).

 Amazon.com: Stop Making Sense: Music: Talking Heads   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The soundtrack to the Jonathan Demme documentary, Stop Making Sense captures the Talking Heads live in 1984 on what would turn out to be their last major tour.
This collection, and the film, is a true gift to the band's fans, a testament to their extraordinary talent, both in the studio and especially onstage.
Even in the beginning and end of songs, when applause can be heard, the mixing mutes it, concentrating instead on the, for example, wavering synthesizer and infectious drumbeat that begins "Once in a Lifetime." Within the songs, the distinctions between instruments and voices are clear as well.
