What-is-truth-How-do-we-know-it-essay-of-Two-Paragraphs-philosophy-homework-help
Read the Powerpoint slides attached then write an essay of two paragraphs:
- 1. PARAGRAPH 1—GIVE YOUR INSIGHTS ON THE FOLLOWING: What is truth? How do we know it ? These are two good questions which are part of the long tradition of Philosophy, and now the problem of epistemology. They are called perennial issues because they keep returning to philosophical discussion—now we turn to the issue again as to WHERE THE TRUTH LIES? IS IT IN THE OBJECT ITSELF? OR IS IT IN THE SUBJECT (THE PERSON) CLAIMING IT TO BE?
- 2. PARAGRAPH 2–CRITICIZE THE POSITION OF PTOLEMY, THE ISSUES OF HOW TRUTH WAS FOUND? –ABSENCE OF TECHNOLOGY—BUT BY OBSERVATION AND SIGHT? WHY COPERNICUS THEORY WAS A BIT CREDIBLE AND RELIABLE? WHAT IS THE BASIS OF REALIABITY AND CREDIBILITY? CAN WE NOW RELY ON SCIENCE WITHOUT TECHOLOGICAL TOOLS WHICH USES OBSERVATION, SIGHT AND SIMPLE EXPERIMENTS? OR CAN WE RELY MORE ON TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS AND MODERN EQUIPMENT TO FIND THE TRUTH. WHY? SUPPORT YOUR ANSWER
