I agree with Locke that we most definitely learn through these things and I would also argue that experience is one of the most fundamental and crucial aspects of our gained knowledge, but to say that we can only learn through it is not accurate. Locke says that everything in our mind is an idea, and that each and every idea arrives in our mind in one of two ways; either the idea comes in through the senses, or it comes in through the mind's reflection. Locke classified ideas into two basic types; the simple and the complex. According to Locke, “knowledge is the perception of strong internal relations that hold among the ideas themselves, without any reference to the external world.” Locke also states that there are four ways to relate our ideas that count as knowledge; identity/diversity, relation, coexistence, actual existence. Locke also believes that knowledge is attained at certain levels; there are different degrees to which knowledge is at its best.
The saying ‘the more things change, the more they remain the same’ is related to each of these theories in different ways. When tackling the issue of change, Parmenides takes his theory of reality into account. Parmenides states that there is no such thing as change and that our senses are deceiving, and therefore, our perception of the world does not reflect reality. Parmenides believes in the ‘one’ being, which is unchangeable, immobile and eternal. Parmenides also says that everything is, has been and always shall be due to the importance he gives to thought and language.
The most radical conclusion from this is that our mind is the only thing which exists. Another conception, skepticism, assumes that we are not concerned whether the external world exists or does not exist indeed; and if it does, whether it is completely different from one that we see or quite similar to it. There is also a stronger form of skepticism when we are not aware with our past since all we realize is our present. Therefore, we can be
The ethical standards of police officers are vital to the relationship of the department and the community. Police officers, like celebrities, are often viewed as role models whether they approve or not. Ethics The moral behavior and actions of humans that produce right and wrong conduct is basically the definition of ethics. Correct moral conduct presents a good sense of ethics and creates trust between those that are governed by the principle. Although most probably consider ethics as good or right actions, bad and wrong behavior can be demonstrated through ethical conduct.
However, this universal truth is only known by the individual, who is incapable of knowing that truth until that exact moment that it presents itself. In theory this may be an efficient manner of policing oneself, but this is not a practical solution to governing groups or societies. Societies or groups must create
In Rene Descartes’, First Meditation, he analyzes the system of beliefs in anticipation that he would come to find truth. In his rationalist argument on universal doubt, he explains his theory that for us to know the truth we must first be sure that the belief is unquestionable and to do so, we first need to put all of our beliefs into question. We will also be concerned with Putnam’s argument that if you were a Brain in a Vat you would not be able to self refer. I will argue against the application of such high Universal Doubt but nevertheless, I will accept that some doubt is necessary in order to find the truth in your beliefs. Although, Descartes and Putnam are playing devils advocate I will fully argue for Putnam’s discretization of the Brain in the Vat theory.
Here, individuals enter a constant state in which they try to convince themselves of what they believe to be truth and become ignorant. The idea that there is no such thing as true knowledge poses the first problem in the impossible quest for knowledge. Everything humans know and understand about the world was created by them. Frye states that everything we know is a product of our imagination. So, everything we know—all of our knowledge—is a product of our imagination.
As free beings we were obligated to do what was 'reasonable', a free person has to act rationally - has to act without inconsistency. His assistance to metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, as well as aesthetics has had a thoughtful impact on nearly every philosophical faction that followed him. It is unfeasible, Kant argues, to expand knowledge to the supersensible monarchy of tentative metaphysics. The cause that knowledge has these restraints, Kant argues, is that the mentality plays a vigorous role in comprising the features of knowledge and restraining the mind's admittance to the empirical monarchy of space and time. 4 John Stuart Mill was a proponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by Jeremy Bentham.
The difference is that utilitarianism states that no matter what a person should never stray from the moral that will bring the greatest good. Kant justifies that under certain circumstances one could stray from the moral as long as the truths are logically consistent and universalizable. Utilitarianism is broken down into two categories; act utilitarianism and rule utilitarianism. The act utilitarian believes that one cannot establish rules in advance to cover all situations, actions and people because they are all different. The rule utilitarian believes that there are enough human motives and situations to justify setting up rules that apply to all humans and situations.
