# PERCEPTUAL ACTIVITY AND BODILY AWARENESS LOUISE RICHARDSON **Opening (not a real abstract):** Bodily awareness is a kind of perceptual awareness of the body that we do not usually count as a sense. I argue that that there is an overlooked agential difference between bodily awareness and perception in the five familiar senses: a difference in what is involved in perceptual activity in sight, hearing, touch taste and smell on the one hand, and bodily awareness on the other. **Authors:** [[LOUISE RICHARDSON]]
