Big Questions…

We’ve been talking (in our previous blog posts) about knowing–to be more precise, we’ve been talking about epistemology.

episteme = "knowledge" (Greek)
ology = "the study of" (such as biology, psychology, sociology, etc.)

Take a look at our Mind Inputs sheet (https://thinkingaccuratelyeducation.comindex.php/product/mind-inputs/). Where do you go for knowledge? People often say, “you are what you eat.” We could say that looking at how you fill out the sheet will also tell us your epistemological position or worldview.

worldview: a particular philosophy of life or conception of the world.

Everyone has a worldview from which they view the world–and the universe, for that matter!–around them (a perspective).

What do you think yours is? And where do you go for ultimate truth?

I suggest that this is the single biggest question you will ever have to answer—and you do! Everyone has to answer it for themselves.

Want to know another question you’re going to have to answer?

What is real? Ponder it until our next blog, OK? Now that you’ve decided where to go for ultimate truth, this one should be a “no-brainer”–right?

  1. Understanding the role of perspective in our thinking is one of the key ingredients of a republic. Because nobody knows everything, and it is impossible to know for sure what the outcomes of our decisions are, a republic puts the responsibility for political change in the hands of everybody in a way that democracy does not. It requires wide consensus at every level of government in order for change to be quickly affected. Sometimes that frustrates people, but this helps protect against disenfranchisement of minorities (philosophical as well as ethnic) when enacted properly.

    1. Hi there, I look forward to discussing these things with you in mu upcoming podcast. What would you say is most required from citizens in the kind of republic you are speaking about?
