Philosophy of Knowledge



Charles: Philosophy of knowledge calls: Epistemology

Patrycja: some points which made me think about:
●        Knowledge and Science make all changes in our lives..
●    Karl Popper said that science starts when we start to criticize something. So for him the science is not when you sit at your room and you are thinking but when you observe and register acts of sciences people. 

Charles: I am impressed! Karl Popper is one of my research interest. I will get back to him.

 Patrycja:
●    There is very important point of getting knowledge.. There are always changes what we studied and what we can read in old books.. because the concepts of life are changing. It is not that old science is bad done but the point is that they are not modern
●        The human mind is creative and there is no limit for it to explain things in new way.

Charles: Epistemology comes from two Greek words, “episteme” means knowledge and “logos” means study. You know what I mean there. Thus, epistemology is the theory of knowledge, especially with regard to its methods, validity, and scope. Epistemology is the investigation of what distinguishes justified belief from opinion. This branch of philosophy is composed of questions in knowledge or in truth. “What is truth” is the most fundamental question in epistemology. It is still a question today; whether it is absolute or relative. “How we could attain knowledge or truth?” is another question. We will further discuss this later.

Philosophy of Metaphysics

Patrycja: I will use the book “Philosophy” by Jenny Teichman and Katherine C.Evans to explain the definition. How do things exist? one thing is made by smaller things . Like the diamond, which is made of other material. Something exists because another thing exists.. In the book there is written “A city exists because the houses and roads exist. The landscape exists because the mountains and trees and rivers exist. The world exists of small parts which create it. They have to be in order and in configuration.” [1] The philosophers said that if something we can think about.. it is possible that it can exists.. like St. Clouse or Elfs. But the commentary of Bertrand Russel said that we have to have strong/ cold sense of reality. So I think his way of thinking is true one.. There is something like imagination.. a lot of people have a big imagination.. we can not think that Elf exists if nobody never saw it. Charles: Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that deals with the first

Other branches in philosophy

Charles:  Philosophy of Education . A minor branch, mainly concerned with what is correct way to educate a person. Philosophy of History . This is better understood when you read Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Karl Marx. Within history, there is underlying principle. This could be extend on the changes in the course of history by influence of our consciousness. For my own definition, this could be a philosophy of changes in the human consciousness. Just tell me if you want me to explain it further . Patrycja: Tell me something about “consciousness”. I always like this word. Charles: Consciousness is very broad to explain to you but what I meant there is that the “state of mind” of the individual. The framework of one’s thinking is restricted within the parameters of this “consciousness” outside of it is not part of the human existence. Do you get me? Philosophy of language . This is a branch of philosophy that deals with how language affect our thought. Patrycj
