Epistemological Problems of Perception: In other words, “Problems in the Knowledge of Perception” or “”Do we “see” what we really “see” or observe?””

Reflections here are ones derived from a careful read of the following article: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/perception-episprob/ This is one of my favorite questions in philosophy. A friend once told me that because they are not a qualified observer i.e. doctor, scientist or specialist in some thing his observations are all but hallucinations. I tend to disagree. SometimesContinue reading “Epistemological Problems of Perception: In other words, “Problems in the Knowledge of Perception” or “”Do we “see” what we really “see” or observe?”””

As an Extension to Personalism: What is involved in the personal decision making process?

Reflection here is based on this article: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/reasons-internal-external/ What comes to mind when making a personal decision?

Personalism is andContinue reading “Personalism and Marxism: What comes next?”

Differences in Personalism: Is their a difference between East and West?

Thoughts here are a reflection of this article: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/personalism/ As I hypothesized, their is no difference or rather similar ideas, yet no difference in the grad scheme of things. Yes, we are the center of our universe. Personalism, can help explain many struggles we all have in interpreting our world. My favorite saying as aContinue reading “Differences in Personalism: Is their a difference between East and West?”

Is Chinese(Eastern) thought really different than Western Thought?

In the grand scheme of things I believe that their is no difference at all. When looking through a microscope yes of course their will be differences but when it comes to global applications to thought no difference and I am not trying to be politically correct here. When we study we must free ourselvesContinue reading “Is Chinese(Eastern) thought really different than Western Thought?”
