Philosophy suffers from an way over convoluted introspection. One result's that suggestions multiply unchecked. That a few occasions have observable reasons will get reified right into a First reason or, in a extra secular age, to the thesis that each occasion is fatalistically made up our minds. one other main issue of convoluted introspection is that tiny yet the most important assumptions slip in, usually unawares, with the end result that densely argued counter-tomes are written in answer and no growth is made towards any form of consensus.

Synaesthesia: The Fusion of the Senses In relation to the body in a place, and in a landscape, we might note in general terms that taste involves an interior relation: the substance to be tasted must be imbibed by the body. Touch involves an extended relation of limited extent, that which can be encountered, primarily through the feet and hands, in contact with the body. Smell, hearing and sight do not require bodily contact, and of these three sensory modalities vision is most extended in relation to the body.
What we are referring to here are bodily processes of perception and reception through which particular forms of representation and meaning came into being. The architecture of the stones resides in a fusion of their physical form and location or placement in the landscape, the sensual experience of these stones and the ideas and memories, histories and mythologies that became associated with them. Thus a sense of the poetic spirit of a place was created and sustained. The visual encounter of size and scale, shape and proportion was only one experience among many.
Synaesthesia, the overlapping or blending of the senses (seeing sounds, hearing colours), is usually regarded as a peculiar, romantic or even pathological experience of certain individuals which needs special analysis, but instead it can be regarded as our primordial preconceptual experience of the world (see Dann 1998). We typically speak of cool or warm colours, hard or soft sounds, thus transposing qualities from one sensory domain to another. When we read silently we may simultaneously hear the sonorous sounds of the words in our heads as we do so.
