What is a sense? Here is my definition:
A sense is a faculty that retrieves dataI believe that senses are the only way we can learn about reality. Although we are unaware of most data we receive in on a daily basis, everything we know about reality was originally received through a sense. I believe this includes sensing our thoughts and feelings. For example, imagine you are nervous for a presentation and you have many thoughts racing through your head. In this situation, you can become aware of your racing thoughts. This is a sense that allows you perceive your thoughts.
