Question

what is the meaning of this sentence?

“the world revealed by our senses is not the real world but only a poor copy of it, and that the real world can only be apprehended intellectually”

Answer 1

Most of the time we develop our world with the information that was given by someone in one’s own view and events that happened in our life in certain contexts. We are taught to believe that we are the only supreme beings and all the others from different parts of the world are a threat to our existence or that they don’t belong to us. We tend to develop an ethnocentric view and reject the good things that we could see, experience and enjoy from others. Education, employment and international exposure would refine their idea about others. This intellectual capability would help them gain enough knowledge and information about the world around them and would make them more cultural relativists and open.
