We See Things Not as They Are but as We Are
Statement or Philosopher Subjective Objective
• Descartes: Rationalist. I think therefore I am. We cannot rely on tradition or previous knowledge or even our senses to belief something. We must reason and process the information therefore the reasoning of each is personal.
• Rationalism: the belief that we can have knowledge without experience. Only by reasoning its existence. Logic is used to subtend reasoning and form opinion.
• Empiricism: we can only be sure of something once we’ve tested it or experienced it. This means that we use our sense perception and logic to form an opinion in the understanding and vision of something. To see something and interpret them for what they did and how they worked signalling this as the only true knowledge.
• Locke all knowledge comes from observation and experience. There are no innate ideas (ideas which we are born with), we get all of our ideas through experience and observation. An essay concerning the human understanding explains how the senses and mind work together to form understanding. Even imaginary ideas are made of things we’ve experienced. Tabula rasa when you are born your mind is like a clean state as you sense them you learn about them and remember them. We know of things only because our perceptions produce sensations of things from which we form ideas, these ideas may be very different from the things themselves. • Therefore everyone will see and understand the reality of something in a different way. Sense perception, emotion and language is not relevant to reality, only reason can tell help us interpret this. Things are seen and understood individually not collectively. This is for the argument.
• To exist they must be assumed by the knower as real this goes back to the idea of Decartes of using reason as only tool for interpretation, therefore it is personal.
• Deduction is the process of determining what is true based on what is already known to be true. A premise is an assertion that leads
