Pratyaksha: 

  • In Indian logic, it is a type of pramana
  • Pramana means the way to get accurate and true knowledge
  • It can get through a direct way or anubhava or sense and an indirect way or smriti, based on previous knowledge or experience.

Senses:

  • The sensory system helps us to perceive the world.
  • It is a compound effect of sensory receptors
  • Perception is made possible by the sensory system
  • Sensory receptors detect sensory stimuli and convert them into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain
  • There are five sensory receptors, eye, ear, nose, tongue, and skin.
  • The capacity to think is considered as the sixth sense

 

Functions of sensory organs:

Organ Function
Eye form, vision (Opthalmoception)
Ear sound (Audioception)
Nose smell (Olfalcoception)
Tongue taste (Gustaoception)
Skin touch (Tactioception)

Thinking is not a direct way to get knowledge. It is not considered as a function of five sensory organs.
