12. Knowledge Sources / D. Empiricism / 5. Empiricism Critique

6228	Senses cannot judge one another, so what judges senses cannot be a sense, but must be superior [Cudworth]
	Full Idea: The sight cannot judge of sounds, nor the hearing of light and colours; wherefore that which judges of all the senses and their several objects, cannot be itself any sense, but something of a superior nature.
	From: Ralph Cudworth (On Eternal and Immutable Morality [1688], Ch.II.VI.1)
	A reaction: How nice to find a seventeenth century English writer rebelling against empiricism!
