Cuz he's hot then he's cold..!

So I think one of the most obvious examples of touch being a way knowing is telling whether something is hot or cold. Though it may seem simple and unimportant it does in fact have a lot of value. Neural sensors on our skin are one of the main uses of our brain so that we can directly perceive and interpret the things outside our own body. To know the world outside our own body is one of the whole purpose of knowledge and learning; understanding more about the world around us so we can understand ourselves and our purpose within it better. Though touch serves mainly just utility purposes it has another extremely important function. The function may not be an "accepted" or clear area of knowledge but area is the area of safety for our body. One can sense if something is causing us pain whether it be tearing or burning our skin it is vital that we know when these events are occurring in order for us to survive and maintain our health. So this way of knowing might not be important in some study or research area, but it is very important in everyday life.
