Synaesthesia and the Encounter with Other Assignment

Synaesthesia and the Encounter with Other - Assignment ExampleWhat Abram is trying to say in this passage is how humans can speak to innate objects such as trees and rocks. To most people, this just sounds excited and it clearly shows how humans have become alienated with spirit. In ancient time, our ancestors used to communicate with temper and this kept them in touch with their inner self. However, due(p) to the advent of alphabets and farming conversations with other species or nature has become outdated. This dependence to nature is evident on all the continents of the world by the varied forms of credit but is usually referred to as totemism. Abram further argues his point by saying, the articulate speech of trees or mountains is due to human engagement with nature via the synaesthetic convergence of two forms of senses, mainly hearing and seeing. The reason why the argument is important to him is that imaginary distortion such as conversations with trees is the very struct ure of perception. This is because the imaginative interaction of human senses during their everyday encounters is the only way for them to link ourselves with nature and hence letting nature tissue into our experiences. This means that all the inert objects that surround us in life are both tidy and expressive entities. I agree with his point of view since imagination and emotion are an important secern of human understanding. This is because that which humans perceive through their senses will invoke further understanding through emotion and imagination.
