Reason and Experience pros and cons
- Rationalism
- advantages of rationalism include
those of Descartes and Plato. Ball of
wax to suppose fallibility of the
senses.
- Disadvantages are all regarding the views of empiricism. All of Locke
and Hume's views and the idea that idiots are unable to get the same
knowledge as everyone therefore innate ideas cannot be universalised.
- Descartes - Waves of Doubt,
senses are falllible
- Disadvantages - risks solipsism, separates
mind from body and does not survive the
verification principle.
- Advantages - explains how senses can be deceiving, we
cannot doubt our own existence, removes the role of
experience if we believe we cannot trust senses.
- Disadvantages - risks solipsism, separates
mind from body and does not survive the
verification principle.
- Plato
- Advantages - explains how we group things together,
perfect circle, cave allegory
- Disadvantages - appeals to transcendental
realm, slave boys and who decides on the forms.
- Advantages - explains how we group things together,
perfect circle, cave allegory
- advantages of rationalism include
those of Descartes and Plato. Ball of
wax to suppose fallibility of the
senses.
- Empiricism
- Advantages include responses from science.
Observation is used in order to gain new
scientific knowledge. Also sensory experience
accounts for all of the senses, reason does not.
- Disadvantages include
examples such as ball
of wax. Senses are
fallible
- Locke - the mind is a tabula rasa. We furnish our
empty cabinet with repitition of experience in order to
gain our knowledge.
- Advantages - Locke's ideas reflect real world
experience, supports Ockham's
razor(simplest explanation)
- Disadvantages - Idea has been confused with experience,
argument is misdirected and there is no abstraction with
Locke's theory. A different dog is not a different idea.
- Advantages - Locke's ideas reflect real world
experience, supports Ockham's
razor(simplest explanation)
- Hume
- Advantage - coherent explanation of how we get
ideas, complex/simple ideas and missing shade
of blue explanation
- Disadvantage - counter point to missing shade
of blue, empathy, necessity, causation and self
- Advantage - coherent explanation of how we get
ideas, complex/simple ideas and missing shade
of blue explanation
- Advantages include responses from science.
Observation is used in order to gain new
scientific knowledge. Also sensory experience
accounts for all of the senses, reason does not.
- Kant
- Advantage - conceptual scheme explains role of
reason and experience, ties together empiricism and rationalism and ship analogy
- Disadvantage - Conceptual relativism, synthetic a priori - maths?
and Hume:schemes are confusing
- Advantage - conceptual scheme explains role of
reason and experience, ties together empiricism and rationalism and ship analogy
