Explain how knowledge depends on our senses. (In doing this, you will need to say something about what a mind is, what an object is, and the relationship between the two.)

Our minds are what contain our knowledge. They allow us to think and interpret our experiences, which is what we obtain knowledge from. Objects are things that can be known, as well as being concrete. We perceive them and gain experiences from them, which we then gain knowledge from. The mind, however, is not an actual object, as it is not a physical thing. Rather, it is something inside of us that allows us to form our ideas and gain understanding of the real things. Knowledge depends on the senses because they're what allow us to interpret the objects. With each of our senses we learn different things about different objects, letting our knowledge grow. Without the senses, we wouldn't be able to learn about anything, and therefore would have no knowledge.
A Mind is What gives us our thought. The object is a original thing that can be seen or felt. Our Mind gives us some say on what the object is so we each see it in a diffrent way. We use our senses to give our minds a more elaborate view of the object. We can say what it looks like,tates like,etc. So our senses help the mind say what the object is in our each individual view.
A mind is like a limitless container that can hold knowledge. That knowledge is only obtained from the objects around us. Our mind is contained (but is not limited to) our body, which uses senses to identify objects around it. The five senses are crucial in understanding the sensory world, and through that, figuring out the truth behind all that we see, hear, feel, smell, and touch.
A mind uses the body to live experiences and learn from them. It uses the body to understand the world, because without the ability to think, the body would just be a corpse. Without a mind filled with knowledge, and a body without a mind, we wouldn't be human. We wouldn't truly be living.
Our knowledge greatly depends on our senses. Our knowledge is limited by what we percieve through our senses. Our minds are intangible, but can definately be defined. Our minds are the gift that allows us to understand, think and even doubt the world around us. An object is a tangible item, that can be percieved through at least one of our senses, usually through multiple senses. we can't grasp the mening of objects in the world, without our senses. We rely on our senses, to guide us and teach us. In other words, our sense enable us to "know". However, our senses can play tricks on our mind, hence altering what we know. For example, due to dehydration often times people who visit the desert are fooled by their sense of sight in to thinking water exists, when it's simply a mirage. Thus, we must have a certain degree of skepticism towards our senses.
A mind is something abstract(a 'form') that contains knowledge. A object is something concrete(physical) that could be perceived and known. To obtain knowledge of an object to the mind the senses are needed. Through the senses we learn about the object, such as it's properties. This information is then transmitted to the mind of the imbedded body through the senses. This is why knowledge is depended on our senses because without our senses the mind would'nt be able to learn anything about any object. Thus, without knowing anything you are unknowledgable, which proves that knowledge depends on our senses.
