Well I think I've managed to draw you all back into loving TOK again with our perception lesson. We have one more next week and then we get to do some more TOK essay fun...
But for now...let me just give you a bit more to ponder. For your bloggy wogs this week, I'd like you all to read the wikipedia article on the isolation tank - follow the link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_tank#History
Then, read an article on sense deprivation at Guantanamo Bay from 2002 - follow the link: http://archives.tcm.ie/businesspost/2002/01/27/story484486728.asp
When you've read that, then read about death row in the US and sensory deprivation - follow the link: http://www.mcia-inc.org/resources/wilson_bad_juju_v2.pdf
On your blogs, I would like you to discuss the effects of sensory deprivation - What are its benefits? Is it a form of torture? Does the work on sense deprivation lead you to any conclusions about where you stand on the sense perceptions spectrum...are you a realist, idealist, representationalist or phenomanalist now?
TTFN
