[QUOTE="MoonNinja, post: 2530258, member: 799703"] I've read a couple arguments concerning our sensory experience, and I agree with the ones that say that sensory perception is merely a representation of reality, that the mind must receive input from our sense to construct an understanding of reality. Yet, the sensory perception would ONLY be a particular understanding of reality, not actually reality in of itself. However, I'm a bit puzzled by the relationship between time and sensory perception. What about the temporal progression of sensory perception? In order to have any kind of "change" within our thought process or understanding of change, it must occur in time. My brain continually receives information from my senses, and changes its view of the world, and realizing reality within a temporal context. If I merely have sensory perception, (lets say we don't actually know if anything experienced within the sensory experience is real) can I argue that I know that time must exist, simply because without it, I am not able to have an experience of sensory perception?
