Who Sees?

To clarify the point, assume that you're drinking a glass of lemonade. The hard, cool surface
of the glass you're holding is transformed into electric signals by special receptors under your skin

and sent to the brain. Simultaneously, the smell of the lemonade, its taste, and yellowish color all
become signals that reach the brain. Likewise, the clink you hear when the glass touches the table
is perceived by the ear and transmitted to the brain as an electric signal. All these perceptions are
interpreted in the brain's relevant centers, which work harmoniously with one another. As a cumu-
lative result of these impulses, you sense that you are drinking a glass of lemonade.
Concerning this important fact, consider the thoughts of B. Russell and L. J. J. Wittgenstein,
two famous philosophers:
For instance, whether a lemon truly exists or not and how it came to exist cannot be questioned and
investigated. A lemon consists merely of a taste sensed by the
tongue, an odor sensed by the nose, a color and shape sensed by
the eye; and only these features of it can be subject to examina-
tion and assessment. Science can never know the physical
world. 21
In other words, it is impossible for us to reach the physical
world. All objects we're in contact with are actually collection of
perceptions such as sight, hearing, and touch. Throughout

our lives, while processing the data in the sensory centers,
we confront not the "originals" of the matter existing out-
side us, but rather copies inside our brain. At this point,
we are misled to assume that these copies are instan-
ces of real matter outside us.
This obvious fact has been proven by science to-
day. Any scientist would tell you how this system
works, and that the world we live in is really an aggregate
