Rachels discusses Descarte’s thoughts on the dreaming state, and how if we can be made to believe that our senses are correct there, than they cannot be trusted. The author discusses Philosophical thoughts on Idealism, in which it is considered that our perceptions of physical objects are not “real”, they are only mental ideas as recorded by our senses and imagined by our brains. Rachels discusses the attempts by Descartes to find a foundation for knowledge by identifying absolute truths, and concludes that the task may too difficult, or impossible. Quotes: I found it intriguing where the author wrote, “The mind does not simply record what passes before it; instead, the mind actively interprets experience according to certain built-in principles. Therefore, what we think of as “simple”
"I have now created the first robot with a human mind". "I Abdul Rauf will build an army of these super human robots and use them against the rest of the world". In his hand he held up a mirror allowing me to see my robotic face. This was the last thing I heard before my metal eyelids clanked shut and I blacked out. I awoke to find the afghan scientists making repairs as they began to check that my senses were working correctly.
Like Candide, Pangloss is not a tenable character; rather, he is a distorted, hyperbolized representation of a philosopher whose beliefs and perspective is considerable linked to his philosophy. Voltaire illustrates two major quandaries intrinsical in Pangloss’s philosophy. First, his philosophy confronts inundating evidence from the authentic world. Pangloss is ravaged by syphilis, proximately hanged, proximately dissected, and confined, yet he perpetuates to espouse optimism. He sticks to his positive views even at the cessation of the novel, when he himself admits that he has reservations in believing some of it.
Descartes depiction of Modus Ponens is shown through this example; if in the past I have dreamt without realizing that I was dreaming, it is so that I can doubt my senses without being insane. Descartes begins his argument with a general premise explaining that usually when one dreams, one is not aware of this fact. He zooms in on this premise explaining that our senses have the ability of deceiving us into believing something other than what reality is. Descartes then explores the possibility that if we do not know when we are dreaming, we may be dreaming now. With this expression, Descartes explains that doubting our senses at this point would prove healthy and not
Speech according to him is the transition of the mental to the verbal; he puts words to the superior position claiming that there is no possibility of science without words and perceptions thus neglecting empirical methods. Also we have desires and aversions, and those things that contradict our desires or aversion are seen as evil opposite – good. Further the power is defined as an instrument to get the desired object or to put another way to fulfill the appetite, one’s power may collide with another one’s that is what hold people from using it and it is called fear, not to use power because of fear is called manners. There are two types of power – one acquired from the moment of birth another through the experience. The state of nature is the war of all against all since not regarding that some maybe stronger than others everyone has capacity to kill, but people also have the Natural Rights like The Right for life – clash of these two takes place.
For example, the term “human” names the eternal existing Form of the human. Plato’s first argument for the Forms can be considered an epistemological argument. Plato claims that: knowledge is enduring, and a true rational belief based on instruction. He says we do have knowledge, but that it cannot be about the world of the senses (because the senses can deceive); therefore it must be about an eternal world. This enduring world is the world of the Forms.
Yet before analysing this, it is important to consider the main ideas behind Descartes’ meditations. The first of these see’s Descartes engage in a process of radical doubt, one which he believes will leave him with one certain truth, and thus a truth which can be used as a criterion to judge every other idea which he may obtain (Cottingham, 1992). The reason for this being the deceptive nature of the senses from which all his knowledge was obtained from. “All that up to the present time I
Like any new ideas, his ideas faced objection. As part of his process of thinking, Descartes included these objections and his responses to the objections in his works in order to better prove his position. Descartes believed that he proved the existence of a perfect being because any human can conceive what it is to be a perfect being. As Descartes said in the Meditations, “…from the mere fact that there is within me an idea of something more perfect than me, it follows that this thing really exists”(AT 52). Descartes believed that in order to have this idea of a being that is truly infinite; something must have put that idea in our mind.
Al-Ghazali argued that certain knowledge is infallibility and disclosed in such a way that no doubt remains along with it. Anything that does not satisfy these two points is not certain knowledge. Furthermore, he was not satisfied with empiricism, rationalism, or skepticism for discovering a source or means to knowledge. He believed the source lies in mystical experience, or God. He utilized the sense of sight to label sense-perception as unreliable.
