'Epistemology – Sense Essay\r'

'The termination of cognition is clearly an essential part in philosophy. It forces us to question whether we are certain of the things we weigh we know, and whether we passel justify the things we know are real true. This theory or study of knowledge can be referred to as epistemology. All these views on knowledge can vary depending on how we view the humankind itself. We are able to perceive the world by means of the application of our senses, however, our senses alone can be real deceiving. We can never really be definite of what we know just by looking at the world the way it is.\r\nWe are able to maintain opinions and assumptions about what we see, smell, taste, and hear, but can never really be absolute. In order to claim knowledge, it requires evidence that something is true. If we were to claim knowledge without inference, we would be disregarding Descartes’ concept of knowledge and certainty. Descartes clarifies doubt as the contrast to certainty. As certa inty increases, doubt decreases; conversely, as doubt increases certainty decreases.\r\nThe world would not be as challenging as it is if we could just accept anything as knowledge. We would be able to simply opinionate, assume, and estimate whatever we would wish well and claim that all is true. However, as good as it sounds, it is not practical. It is as what it sounds to be like a switch believe world. Basically, if we based knowledge take away of ideas we are not certain of and just judge them as true, we would never be able to conduct on to the next levels of knowledge.\r\nSomewhere a colossal the lines of this ambiguous knowledge, we would find that things do not correlate, or make sense. We would find ourselves questioning the reason for things and only conclusion out that our knowledge is inaccurate. All in all, untrue knowledge is not beneficial in the long run without certainty.\r\n'
