解析《嫁妆一牛车》
Is it ever possible to be certain about knowledge?
Your response analysis should include an explanation of your belief incorporating concepts and terms that have been discussed up to this point (all ways of knowing) and reference to the problem of accuracy within the town (i.e. make sure as you respond you use aspects of the above example to help explain your point of view). Keep in mind that addressing the Wok can be done by discussing the effects they have on each other (i.e. as you discuss perception you may want to reference the impact emotion has, specifically within the context of your response). Try to resist simply listing each Wok and saying here is how it impacts. Your response should also include your perspective as a knower. Be sure to address counterclaims to your point(s) of view.
In the story, we know that the church sets its time according to the clockmaker’s time. And the clockmaker sets his clocks according to the ringing of the church’s bell. But how do we know that the actual time is right? Well according to the ways of knowing, this knowledge that the citizens hold are proven true. For example, faith, the people have faith in each other to have the correct time, and they believe that it IS the correct time. Since they all believe this common knowledge, therefore it will be ‘true’ (for them).
Despite the ways of knowledge, I believe that one can never be certain about knowledge. I believe there is no true knowledge. Knowledge is all about perspective, due the affects of culture, habits and etc. These aspects shaped us to have unique perspective and to think differently, therefore believe what we think is true. For example, when Columbus found America, the natives believed that the world (Earth) was flat. They believed that if they kept walking, they would eventually fall off and never be able to return. We might all think it is silly to believe that but according to the ways of knowledge, this fast holds true. They used language, sense

    One of the initial descriptions towards the beginning of the story is that of a clock ticking which no person at the party is quite fond of. This clock itself resembles life itself ticking away at the lives of these sinners in the castle. Their attempted ignorance to the ticking shows that they do not want to be reminded of their lives, they just want to party. Their overall inability to do as they wished and ignore the clock is simply a piece of evidence that proves the fact that whether they ignored it or despised it for lack of ability to ignore it, it was always right there waiting for them.…

    Truth. The person’s belief that p needs to be true. If it is incorrect instead, then — no matter what else is good or useful about it — it is not knowledge. It would only be something else, something lesser. Admittedly, even when a belief is mistaken it can feel to the believer as if it is true. But in that circumstance the feeling would be mistaken; and so the belief would not be knowledge, no matter how much it might feel to the believer like knowledge.…

    A lot of people view “knowledge” as how smart you are, or what you know and what you don’t, but there is much more to what “knowledge” really is. According to Charles van Doren, knowledge is the accumulation of information and the understanding of how things work. There are three types of knowledge: knowledge in particulars, general knowledge, and certain knowledge. Particular knowledge is knowing where you are well enough to survive and general knowledge is understanding concepts. Van Doren gives these examples as a pieces of general knowledge, “All living things are born and also die,” and “...winter follows summer, and summer winter” (pg. xx). General knowledge is understanding the cause and effect of things. Finally, certain knowledge is grouped into two types: Self-evident propositions and faith. There are few self-evident propositions. Many math statements are considered certainly true (self-evident propositions), as well as real world statements such as, “A finite whole is greater than any of its parts,” as van Doren explains (pg. xxi). The other part of certain knowledge is faith. The pieces of information that God has given us through His Word. Accepting this knowledge from God as certain truths is difficult for many, and is even said to be impossible without His grace. People desire for knowledge. And the one cure for our desire of knowledge is faith (pg. xxiii). Faith answers so many questions that the other types of knowledge fail to answer.…

    Knowledge is based on what is, or truths. The only established truths are the forms. The forms represent true, eternal, unchanging, or facts. Knowledge stems from the idea of forms. One who has knowledge must understand the forms. Only a philosopher has this understanding, and therefore only a philosopher has knowledge.…

    According to the theoretical definition written originally by Plato, knowledge is a statement that is contemplated as justified, true, and believed. Knowledge is gained through a combination of ways of knowing; including perception, language, and reason. However, it is through experience that we begin to understand the process about knowing exactly what we know. Experience results in drawing inferences and reaching conclusions about what we learn through out life. Our education, age, and cultural background all affect what we distinguish as being true or false, and what is determined as knowledge.…
