Do you think a feeling itself is part of the unknowable?

Question

It is something we cannot really touch???

Answer 1

Our feelings and emotions have been tracked to electrical and chemical activity in different regions of the brain.  We may not be able to touch feelings but, under scientific scrutiny, they can be reliably explained, predicted or even induced.  But I don't thnk scientifically understanding our feelings makes them any less meaningful.  

Answer 2

Yes.  

Answer 3

no our spirit is our PC and feelings are the inputs sometimes other people can make you sad or happy but if your PC have anti virus or parasites your feelings would feel better and your PC will run faster.

Answer 4

Feelings are the known if you can understand them as they apply to the unknown .

Answer 5

Sadness is a feeling. Is it unknowable?

The same with romance, glee, despair and hatred.

The more you investigate them, the less unknowable they are.

Answer 6

I don`t know what`s the unknowable, and what do my feelingss have to do with it?

Answer 7

  Feelings are emotions that have found some substance to cling to, to love...and to love someone are variable degrees of or feelings, the same but quite different . To know? To touch...we are talking two different languages, Feelings are of the spirit...faith if you will. Knowing and touching is material. Proof of fact...science if you may.

Answer 8

No, it is very knowable for me.

My feeling leads me by the hand to all my actions and every words I speak. It could not be touched but it certainly, without denial, an influential force.

Answer 9

No. I think it is very "knowable". A feeling is felt by our touch and thus known to the brain as the brain records, controls and influences touch.

A feeling inside, is no different than a feeling on the outside either.

I believe that a feeling can be touched because it can be felt more than once.

Very interesting.

Answer 10

When you say "I feel"it is in the field of known only.

Answer 11

Feelings can be measured in the brain. They're just chemicals. We cannot literally touch them, but they can be known and understood by science. And anyone with strong feelings would say them can connect to them really well, and even though feelings might be confusing sometimes, they're very much real.

Answer 12

i believe feelings are realities all inthemselves untouchable but feelable... idk how to explain what i think its just a thought in my head that wont take form!!! god so frustraiting

anywho take it easy =D

Answer 13

well...yeah...it makes sense...if we could touch it...we'd be able to change it rite. hmmnn....good question :)

Answer 14

Well, yes.  Our body schema, which handles the process of getting sensory data to our central nervous system, is not something we are aware of, although we are aware of its results.  Our body image is aware of the feelings, vision, smells, hearings, heat, balance, taste, pain, and all the other sensory data it is presented with by our body schema.

But the feeling is the finished product of the organization our brain performs on the sensory data it receives.  We know our feelings.  We don't know, as part of the feeling, how they get formed.  We do know how much of our sensory data is manipulated by the different component processes of our brain but do not have, yet, a complete picture for all processes.  Perhaps the most is known about the visual processes.

And, of course, you cannot touch a feeling of touch.

Answer 15

No, we feel our feelings. We may be ignorant to the cause, but the feeling we know all too well. Interesting question.

Answer 16

No.  If feelings were unknowable humans wouldn't be able to relate or understand each other.  Someone would express a feeling say of loss.  Like a loved one died, and someone else who also experienced that feeling can understand, and sympathize.
