is a door which can open outwards and open inwards. It is with the same sense which you use to hear outer music, that you can hear the music of your own being.

All your senses are doors, and remember, a door can open outwards and the same door can open inwards. It is with the same sense which you use to hear outer music, that you can hear the music of your own being. The question is simply whether to go inwards or to go outwards... the door is the same. (Osho 'this, this, this' 45)

is a tool meant to help one get around in the world, not to lead one to truth.

Descartes view on empiricism and rationalism). Because the essence of body is extension and the essence of mind is thought, the Meditator concludes that the two are completely distinct. He decides also that while he can clearly and distinctly perceive the primary qualities of material things, he has only a confused and obscure perception of secondary qualities. This is because the senses are meant to help him get around in the world, not to lead him to the truth.

is always a result, an effect: Not merely an effect like a product, but an optical effect, a language effect, a positional effect. There is, profoundly, a nonsense of sense, from which sense itself results.

As Levi-Strauss says in his discussion with Paul Ricoeur, sense is always a result, an effect: not merely an effect like a product, but an optical effect, a language effect, a positional effect. There is, profoundly, a nonsense of sense, from which sense itself results. (Deleuze 'desert islands' 2002: 175)

is composed of stable variations whose intensity changes. There is always a 'to hunt' as a component of sense, but its relations to other verbs 'to wear', 'to eat', 'to take pleasure' alter with actual extinctions or abundance.

The components of sense the pure variations do not change in themselves. The intensity of their multiple relations does. There is always a 'to hunt' as a component of sense, but its relations to other verbs 'to wear', 'to eat', 'to take pleasure' alter with actual extinctions or abundance. (Williams logic of sense 2008 : 4)

is, from the biological and psychological point of view, an appreciation of values in relation to a need (which for the one who experiences it is an irreducible and thereby absolute system of reference).

From the biological and psychological point of view, a sense is an appreciation of values in rela tion to a need. And for the one who experiences and lives it, a need is an irreducible, and thereby absolute, system of reference. (Canguilhem 'knowledge of life' : 119)

is possessed by things that are alive. As such, a text is not alive and therefore cannot be said to, as it were, have 'sense'.

Are the things which have sense alive or lifeless' They are alive. And do you know of any word which is alive' I cannot say that I do. Then why did you ask me what sense my words had' (plato euthedemus .pdf)

is something non-representational that also cannot be understood in terms of judgment itself, but is something transcendental and different in kind from judgments.

For Deleuze, sense is something non-representational that also cannot be understood in terms of judgement itself, but is something transcendental and different in kind from judgements.

is secondary. Is not because we have eyes that we see, nor do we hear because we have ears : We have eyes and ears because our intuiting is a seeing and a hearing. Human intuition depends upon such giving. . . Is sensuous, therefore it requires the sense organs.

Human intuition is necessarily sensuous, i.e., such that the immediately represented must be give to it. Since human intuition depends upon such giving (gebung), i.e., is sensuous, therefore it requires the sense organs. Thus, we have eyes and ears because our intuiting is a seeing and a hearing, etc. It is not because we have eyes that we see, nor do we hear because we have ears. (heidegger 'what is a thing' : 143)
