Rationalism Vs Empiricism

we all love to think we can't help it we all love to learn - you might not like going to school or work but you learn every day the only question is did you know this already epistemology is the theory of knowledge it deals with what knowledge is and how we deal with it so it's basically how we learn there are two more philosophical terms you need to know a PRI which is using logic and reason to come up with a conclusion before experience and a pasta or a learning through experience so a PRI is the opposite as a pasta rack I should also include in a ideas these are ideas you are born with in epistemology there are two main ideas rationalism and empiricism there are distinct differences between them so mainly you could call them exact opposite to each other rationalism is the concept of nay ideas reason and deduction and is a PRI whereas empiricism is the concept of induction sense perception and there are no innate ideas and Pyrrhus ISM is a pasta or I with rationalism having an a ideas can come through reincarnation when you are reborn you still have your memories and ideas from the life before play oh describe the theory of innate ideas with this theory of forms the place where everyone goes to attain knowledge before returning back to the physical or visible world these innate ideas could explain why some people are naturally battered some things even though you have the same experience there is evidence that humans do have any ideas for example your music tastes whether it's rock pop alternate electronica rap there are links to speed of the beat and your mother's harpy from when you were in the womb so people whose mothers have a fast heartbeat generally like faster music I have been told I do not understand something that I can explain it in simple words so I need to understand what it actually is the reasons rationalists believe that reason is a main source of knowledge Russian is tend to believe that the five senses giving you opinion on something they don't explain why something is in the cart day's wax argument he says how a candle has a fixed shape until it's lit then it deforms into a new completely different shape compared to how its dyed this is similar to our sentences it shows they can be tricked and are not to be trusted optical illusions wouldn't work if your senses couldn't be tricked deduction being able to conclude using particular instances by using principles this is the third main characteristic of rationalism those cars use this to prove the existence of God claiming that he knew what a perfect substitute was but as he was not perfect and therefore couldn't read anything perfect this idea must not be his it must be a perfect being that can create imperfections such as God rationalism is a place where Matt and religion agree the maths can be understood a PRI as we know for example catharsis theorem it's true for all triangles without testing every single triangle now on the other hand empiricism and empiricists believe that all ideas come from Sense experience and all ideas are either simple or complex simple ideas are ideas that are based only on perception like core something that you only really need one sense to understand complex ideas are formed when simple ideas are combined together so it generally takes more than one sense to understand and persist reject the idea of innate ideas because if a baby did know everything already why can't it show it surely someone who learned to walk and talk in another life would be able to in the next life John Locke stated that the mind was a toddler aza or a blank slate by an empty cabinet this empty cabinet can be furnished with experiences an example of this is a person was born blind has no notion of color induction is the third principle of empiricism it is the idea that very few things if any can be proven conclusively for example I can show you that a $1 note is green but how do we know when it's not observed that it is still green if there at all so you can never actually know anything with a hundred percent certainty or very few things we can use repeat experiences to make a knowledge claim a really extreme empirical idea is localism this takes induction to the next level and says that we can only be sure the existence of ourselves everything else is a projection of our minds consider the possibility that you are a projection of someone else's mind the only question is who is the mind you you
