Senses are the gateways of knowledge: As we are aware that the real knowledge is perceived by sense organs. There are basically five senses, Sight, Smell, touch, hear and taste. Therefore, real knowledge about an object could be obtained with the help of our sense organs. These sense organs give signals to our mind and then the mind gets connected with the outer world.

Key Points

  •  Our senses are the gateways of knowledge and therefore on their training and development depend the acquisition of knowledge throughout life. 
  • Montessori pointed out that the senses are very active between the ages of 3 and 7 and that a lot of learning takes place during this period. She advocates that sensory training is the key to intellectual development.
  • Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a Genevan philosopher whose philosophies inspired the french revolutionary leaders and emphasized Senses are the gateways of knowledge.

Thus, it is concluded that  Rousseau said "Senses are the gateways of knowledge."
