Five Senses

1668 Gc3A9Rard De Lairesse - Allegory Of The Five Senses
The error: We have five body senses – sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste.
These are the traditional five senses, but there are in fact many more – some say up to 21. Obvious additions to the list are balance, pain, and temperature. Furthermore, we have internal senses which traditionally number four: imagination, memory, common sense (not to be confused with commonsense which many people lack!), and the estimative power. Mythverse has a very interesting article which covers a number of senses seldom mentioned.
