A more formally logical way of presenting the above argument,with”a world”being defined
as that which can be perceived by a conscious being through its senses, is as follows:
1)There is no way in which we can know the world,other thant hrough our senses.Theonly
reality we can know is phenomena.
2) Our senses give us only some information about the world.
3)The things we can perceive can beconsidered to be in our world, the things we cannot
perceive can be considered to be in other or different worlds.
Therefore
4) As there are many things we cannot perceive there are many worlds other than our own.
5)There is no reason to consider that any world is more real,more true or more valid than any
other world.
6)If there is no reason to believe anyone world is truer or more real than any other,theyc an
only be treated as equally true or real.
Therefore
7) Any one world is as valid and real and true as any other.
8) There is a wide variety of senses and each sense has thresholds which limit perception.
Therefore
9) There must be a wide variety of worlds.
10) As the senses of different people and species overlap some of the worlds overlap.
11)As any being may hav esenses which are quite unlike those of anyother being manyof
these worlds will not over lap.Such beings will live in totally separate worlds from those o fother
beings.
12)There seems to be no reason to believe there is a finite limit on the range of potential
sense organs.
Therefore
13) There is no finite limit on the number of potential worlds that may exist.
Reality appears to consist of a vast number,possibly an infinite number,of sensory worlds.
Each person has their own individual world.This is the world they perceive which is always different
from the world perceived by others.Variations exist from person to person due to each person
occupying different points in time and space and due to the qualityof the individual person’s sense
organs.Each species has its own world due to the tendency fo rmembers of each species to have the
same sense organs which will tend to function in a similar way within each member of the species.
There seems to be no good reason for favoring any one of these sensory worlds over any other of
them. It seems impossible to claim that the human view of the world has any special claim to validity
when an alteration of our senses will give us different sense perceptions.How can you say what you
perceive is,when the samething can be perceived with different sense organs and it can be something
quite different? If the human view was to b epreferred it would be no more than a case of a human
centric view of the world that is not capable of any real justification.
