Knowledge of themselves and the world around is necessary for the person. Knowledge allows us to adapt in the world, to explain and expect approach of some events. Today we have an opportunity to study various experience of the different people. At the same time distinguish sensory and rational perception. Let's try to understand it in more detail.
Rational knowledge
Sensual and rational levels of knowledge have the forms. At first we will sort forms of rational knowledge:
- Thinking will transform sensual experience and gives an opportunity to gain certain knowledge of such relations which is inaccessible to only one sensory perception.
- Comparison allows to mark out the common essential features therefore the correct concept is formed.
- The concept is a form of thinking which reflects objects or the phenomena in their essential signs. It is known that the concept is under construction on the basis of representation which is a sensual form. The signs of objects received from representation are exposed to the careful analysis and deal with allocation on essential. In order that to understand something, it is necessary to pass it through the values, ideals, experience, norms, etc.
- Judgment is a form of a thought in which it is possible to approve something or to deny through communication of certain concepts. By means of judgment we can reveal one of the parties of a subject which is expressed in absence or existence of separate sign. In order that to judge something, it is necessary to express own opinion on the told thought.
- Conclusion call a form of thinking by means of which it is possible to receive new judgment on the basis of others.
Sensory perception
This look also has the forms:
- Feelings are direct impact on sense organs. They reflect situations and objects at impact on sight, sense of smell, touch, hearing, taste and other sense organs.
- Perception influences sense organs completely of a subject. It is connected with active detection and also distinction and the analysis of properties, objects by means of our hands, eyes, ears, etc. Perception connects and correlates objects in space and time. Thus, orientation of the learning subject in a surrounding situation is provided.
- Representation is a sensual image of objects and situations which remain in consciousness without their direct influence. Representation allows to form images of objects on the basis of memoirs or productive imagination.
It is important to note that features of rational and sensory perception have to be combined harmoniously with each other. It is impossible to be guided only by one party.
For the best understanding let's review examples of rational and sensory perception. Rational knowledge happens when:
- you read the scientific article;
- you make an experiment;
- you put forward the theory;
- you prove the theorem;
- you conduct sociological survey, etc.
Sensory perception is carried out by means of sense organs when you:
- you taste tasty food;
- you observe a lovely scenery;
- you make love;
- you listen to music;
- you enjoy aroma of wonderful spirits, etc.
The real process of knowledge has to happen at interrelation of sensual and rational forms. They can be allocated and considered separately, but they are the parties of uniform process therefore have to work together. In certain cases the rational component (science), in others - sensual can prevail (art). At the same time the interrelation of sensory and rational perception is very important. If they function in harmony with each other, the personality will be able to make the correct decisions and to remain at the same time happy.
