The nature of knowledge.
I'm having a hard time even wrapping my head around that one.
Knowledge is based on fact. . .or at least what we suppose to be fact. . .

They sure are. I also love the World Showcase Players (in UK and in Italy). They are so funny!
Not embarrassing...they gave you your props, girl.
Yeah. But did it have to be in front of a really big group of people?:lookaroun
It better be.:fork:

17th and some 18th century philosophy. (People like Locke, Hume, Berkeley, DesCartes, Malebrance..) And early study in the philosophy of reality and the philosophy of mind.

What world this has become.
And it's probably only going to get worse.
I hope your niece and her husband stay safe.

Would it be completely obnoxious of me to start a "vote for my dog" thread?

There have been plenty of threads like that.
People who aren't interested don't have to look.
Those who are interested will get to see some cute pets!
And of course the cutest of all!
Yikes! I did not like having to study philosophy. I essentially "got" it...but it involved way too much thinking for me.
I had to take 2 philosophy classes in college. 1 was a critical theory class and the other was basically involved ethics and the media and how the philosophy played into that. So in that class we talked about Mill and Kant and lots of others. I definitely didn't enjoy it...it was interesting, but wow was it sometimes hard to grasp!

Well that's precisely why it generally works in some way with metaphysics. Is knowledge based in fact or simply in perceptions of reality? If our perception of reality is deceived by something outside ourselves, then can we really state anything perceived as being factual?
Also, is knowledge based at all on a thing perceived or in our ideas of the thing perceived external to us? Knowledge has to be an idea of something outside of ourselves, not the thing itself. Can our ideas thus be wrong? These are the base questions we have to get past with metaphysics. I'm personally working on a Thesis that supports the notion that human Vision does not support some sort of extensive world that we suppose we live in. Things that we perceive, such as length, are only a collection of the ideas of motion and figure.
Sound messed up? It is!
