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.
