Even Aristotle noted that the sensed objects of sight, hearing, flavor, or shape were relative both to where one stands, when one senses, and hence do not provide objective scientific items of knowledge. He did, however, believe that in the sense of touch of hotness, coldness, wetness and dryness we do naively (i.e., directly) sense the objects.
