We’re taught that we have five senses, but what if we're missing the one that matters most: the one that looks inward? Beyond sight and sound lies interception: a constant, subconscious monitoring of our internal organs and body. Known for his appearances on Masterchef and Radio 4’s The Kitchen Cabinet, join the founding director of the Centre for the Study of the Senses, Barry C. Smith, as he argues that these internal signals are the hidden drivers behind our moods, our decisions, and even our sense of self. By dismantling the ""five senses"" myth, Smith reveals how our heart, lungs, and gut expose hidden layers of reality that our ordinary senses miss.
“Smith’s work restores wonder to the senses and wisdom to the philosopher’s palate.” — Philosophy Now
