“The knower’s perspective is
essential in the pursuit of
knowledge.” To what extent do you
agree with this statement?
Natural Sciences
Language: Placebo results and the way they
are presented to society can model the
effect they have on people, since language
can determine this change. Even, when
there is no literal (or expressed by language)
explanation of the treatment, it may work
even better.
Faith: Placebo is all about believing, when the
person under the treatment puts faith in the
treatment, then they fin the answer or solution
to any problem or disease the placebo is
working for.
Real life situation: results on
placebo experiments
Emotion: When a person feels something is going to
work, it usually happens, therefore that is the effect
placebo, those that want to believe in it can do so.
Religious knowledge systems
Faith: When a person follows a
religion, it means they believe fully
on the principles, therefore they
look inside it history the answers
and approval to every action.
Intuition: As well as believing and approving, when
the knower follows or practices a religion, their
instinct plays an important role in the way the look
for their knowledge, therefore in their perspective
about the type of knowledge they need to discover.
Emotion: When looking for answers or knowledge as the
title says and following a specific religion, having a certain
devotion emotion for the principles of it work as an
important factor in terms of the perspective.
Real life situation: believing
and following a religious
story and therefore
practicing a religion.
Indigenous knowledge systems
Memory: These tribes believe fully in their traditions, which are mostly told and not shown as other
historical facts, this means that their perspective is completely shaped by the fact that they believe
in their history told by anecdotes that evidence memory.
Faith: Since their histories are mostly told and
repeated, those that belong to an specific
indigenous group need to have faith on their
ancestors and on the knowledge they are
sharing with them as the correct story.
Intuition: The knower belonging to a indigenous tribe
perceives something in their story, their family and in their
conscience that indicates their pursuit of knowledge is
shaped by the principles of their community.
Real life situation: : their
belief on traditions and on
their way of life as the
correct one, looking for the
approval using their
ancestors.
Possible counter arguments
Mathematics: even if the knower has
another purpose in the pursuit of
their knowledge, mathematics is a
language and therefore the answers
are all the same.
History: facts that cannot be
shaped are told in certain
historical ways, which
therefore won’t permit that the
knower has a different
perspective regarding their
point of view.
Why interested?
Allows me to investigate the purpose of
certain people on the pursuit of knowledge
since their perspective normally influences
them.
Permits a different approach depending
on the specific area of knowledge,
meaning that the amount of examples
is huge.
Possible knowledge and subsidairy knowledge questions
To what extent can the knower control its
perspective to pursuit knowledge?
To what extent can the knower
decide whether or not to consider
perspective as the main factor to
pursuit knowledge?
To what extent is it reliable for the knower to
believe in perspective as the main factor to
pursuit knowledge?
To what extent can shared
knowledge shape the
pursuit of personal
knowledge?
Thesis
I do agree with the
statement,
examples prove it.
People do look for information, studies,
perspectives, or even people that share
their same type of likes, dislikes, etc.
People shape their personal
knowledge completely biased
by their perspective and from
those that share their same
shared knowledge as a basis.
The knowers all look for
answers to their points of view
when searching or shaping
their knowledge, meaning that
they try to look for those with
a similar way of thinking or in
their same community.
The knower can’t control
their pursuit of knowledge
by itself, it all depends on
their way of thinking, which
then shapes the way the
knowledge is searched for.
It is difficult to rely on just the
knower’s point of view since
there are a lot of perspectives to
different ways of receiving o
understanding the same
information.
A knower rescues the information he/she
needs depending on other factors, which
determine their pursuit and purpose of
new personal knowledge.
