Senses are physiological capacities of organisms that provide data for perception. The senses and their operation, classification, and theory are overlapping topics studied by a variety of fields, most notably neuroscience, cognitive psychology (or cognitive science), and philosophy of perception. The nervous system has a specific sensory system or organ, dedicated to each sense.

Famous quotes containing the word sense:

    No sense bein’ in a hurry about cuttin’ a body’s finger off. Here have another.... Need another jug before cuttin’.

    Words are like leaves; and where they most abound,
    Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    I sometimes have the sense that I live my life as a writer with my nose pressed against the wide, shiny plate glass window of the “mainstream” culture. The world seems full of straight, large-circulation, slick periodicals which wouldn’t think of reviewing my book and bookstores which will never order it.
    Jan Clausen (b. 1943)
