    McGinn (1996: 8) claims: “bodily sensations do not have an intentional object in the way perceptual experiences do”. His view is shared by many, for at least two reasons: (i) the body cannot both anchor our perception of the world and be an object of perception for risk of infinite regress; and (ii) the body senses do not need to identify and reidentify the body since they give information about nothing else.
