The difference between what we sense and what we perceive is exactly the difference between what we know and what we understand.
Blake??..... no, Huxley! I read the book.
Jim Morrison ripped it off for 'The Doors' - neat, hey?
And welcome to A2K Chris!
about the quote
Greetings to all. Actually it is my own quote which I used in a rather obscure article that I wrote for a professional medical journal, "Visual Acuity: Perceiving Fractal Objects in the Presence of Macular Blindness, " Visual Impairment Research, vol. 3, no. 2, August 2001, pp.53-57, Swets & Zeitlinger Publishers.
It was not the quote by itself that had any significance except for how it related to the nature of perception and the development and evolution of the human senses through time. But the more I think about the quote, the more universal it seems.
Stumble It!
