Abstract

"All people naturally want to know" is how Aristotle, one of the greatest thinkers in history, opens his well-known book Metaphysics (Aristotle, 2010). Humans are recognised to possess a wide range of potential skills in the modern day. Among these skills, knowledge, learning, and curiosity surface during a person's growth and start to take shape under the impact of their surroundings. Our understanding comes from the realm of sensations. In the same book, Aristotle discusses the value of the senses and offers the proverb "who loses a sense loses a world." He stresses the value of the senses in learning by noting that they are a vital tool for comprehending the cosmos and what is happening. He stresses the use of the senses in learning by stating that "science is based on the senses but senses are not science," noting that "the senses are an important aid in understanding the universe and what is happening" but also acknowledging that "the senses can be misleading from time to time."
