    Steve:
    Platt, would you agree that it would be better to say that the 5 senses
    perceive value, but we also perceive value in other ways? We perceive the
    low quality of the hot stove with our sense of touch, but sense the high
    value of truth in the statement 2+2=4 without the five senses. Rather than
    call value a sixth sense, "sense" may be a word for explaining how we
    experience value?

    I think I read the Dalia Lama talking of mind as a sense and counting 6
    senses. Scott? Would intellectual and social value be thought of as
    perceived through the sense called mind?

    Thanks,
    Steve
