“Epistemology”

“Epistemology” The theory of knowledge.

What do we know? Isn’t it cool that we know that we know? How do we know if we (really) know??

Some problems with knowing: Illogical conclusions / bad reasoning. Reasoning and logic cannot answer everything. –Ethical questions. – The great ‘why’ questions. “Chuang-Tzu once dreamed he was a butterfly. When he awoke, he no longer knew if he was a butterfly dreaming he was a man, or a man who had dreamed he was a butterfly.”

Class discussion: what are different ways that we know things? (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)

Four commonly accepted ways of knowing: (1)Reason (logic) (2)Perception (senses, induction) (3)Language (stories/authority) (4)Emotion (intuition/inspiration/revelation) From

Aristotle Together with Plato, and Socrates (Plato's teacher), Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy. He was the first to create a comprehensive system of Western philosophy, encompassing morality and aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics.PlatoSocratesWestern philosophy All aspects of Aristotle's philosophy continue to be the object of active academic study today. From Wikipedia. SEE BLACKBOARD

Deductive Reasoning Deductive Reasoning – from the general to the specific. If something is true for the general, then it is true for a specific instance. Example: Bachelors are unmarried men. If Tom is a bachelor, he is a man.

“TREES” Deduction: from the general to the specific

In the real world, how do you know anything in general?

“TREES” Induction: from the specific to the general

Inductive Reasoning Inductive Reasoning – from the specific to the general. If something is true in every observed instance, it may be true in the next instance. Example: The sun will rise tomorrow morning.

Deductive or Inductive? (Proof or evidence?) I was walking through the park and saw 14 dogs. Every dog had a tail. Therefore I conclude that all dogs have tails. 1

Deductive or Inductive? (Proof or evidence?) I know that any positive or negative real number, when squared, gives a positive number. I know that zero, when squared, gives zero. Therefore, no real number, when squared, gives a negative number. 2

Deductive or Inductive? (Proof or evidence?) During rush hour Bob watches the cars at a busy intersection. He notices that of the 48 people who did not use their turn signals when turning, 75% were driving Fords. He concludes, people who drive Fords are more likely to not use turn signals. 3

Deductive or Inductive? (Proof or evidence?) The senator has supported every tax increase so far so I am sure he will support this one. 4

Deductive or Inductive? (Proof or evidence?) -2 cubed is -8 so I conclude that not all numbers, when cubed, give a positive number. 5
