Is there pain in the kitchen?

Question

Are sharp objects only painful when they touch you, or are they just as much painful as pointy, colored, or three-dimensional?

Nor is there "love in the air" apparently.

The question is about sensation. If we attribute certain qualities to objects -- like shape and location, that are independant of our sensing them, and not others... why?

A knife can produce pain if it touches you in the right way, but it can also look red if you see it in the right light. And yet knives are in the kitchen, red is in the kitchen, but pain is not.

CH: you have to process sense-data in the same way to perceive shape or color-- under the right conditions, tickling your nerves.

SF: that's why it's difficult to admit, but you still wouldn't say "there's pain in the torture chamber."

Answer 1

I really don't understand this question. If you are asking if kitchen knives etc., have feelings...um i'd say no. LOL

Answer 2

No, they are not. Pain like what you are describing is a series of electrical signals along the nerve paths in your body. The signals go back and forth between your brain and the part of your body that touched the sharp object. Yes, sharp objects are only painful when you touch them, because you have to touch a sharp object for the pain to exist in the first place. Looked at another way: Pain is not an inherent property of the matter (unlike pointy, colored, and three-dimensional, which are descriptive words for physical traits), it is an abstract term used to describe a certain type of concrete reaction. So, no, they are not as much painful as point, colored, or three-dimensional.

Answer 3

I skipped through this question but i thought i'd come back . Answering to your question, yes there is pain in the kitchen.
There is an idea of pain in the kitchen it is caused by our sensation represented by the sharp knives, and other objects.
John Locke argued, if there was a real world, how can we, having only ideas, prove it's existence? Our senses, he said, tell us of this world. We do experience this world and are justified in saying that it exists. Though we may not be able to say much about the source of our sensations, we are able to say that our sensations are caused. Thus the real world is caused by our sensations.For example, we have an idea of red in the kitchen. This idea is not born in us, but is caused. From this we can reason thst the real world contains something which causes in us an idea of red, red maybe associated by the color of blood if we accidentally hurt ourselves with the knife while we're cooking in the kitchen.

misc. answer:
