Epistemology: Foundationalism & Coherentism


For this exercise, you must listen to the following video named Epistemology: Foundationalism and Coherentism and post 10 complete ideas the speaker mentioned. This will help you to get a better understanding of how is knowledge built and the different theories that revolves around it.
The deadline to complete this exercise is May 8th.

  1. Here I have some ideas from the video:

    1. A man can possess a true belief based on experiences.
    2. A man possesses knowledge not only if his belief is true.
    3. Throw absolutely everything into doubt to find a basic belief that itself.
    4. Descartes uses this basic belief to prove the possibility of knowledge.
    5. The meditations are also the source of what is referred to as Cartesian dualism.
    6. Dualism asserts that the mind and physical things are different substances.
    7. The whole foundational a system can be visually represented as an up side down pyramid.
    8. The regress carries on forever, which makes it an infinite regress.
    9. Coherentism can very easily be understood as a spider web.
    10. Foundationalism is the oldest epistemec theory and is one of the bases of knowledge.

  4. 1 every man knowledge which develops as you learn things un life 2 throught knowledge you can achieve true belief 3 every man has his own knowledge 4 there are different thoughts of knowledge that speaketh discurds 5 every process must have a justification and a theory 6 foundationalism speaks of true and justified belief 7 different structures are managed to generate a good justification 8 you can not believe un justification since there is no absolute truch 9 coherentism can be regarded as the theory of truth or the study of knowledge 10 it handles al basic belief justification faith trying to corvince new knowledge

    7. Through dialogue, can we can prove or falsify the truth.
    8. A truth can be relative because it depends on established or to different ways of thinking of those laws.
    9. Foundationalism is the identification of a set of beliefs that is uncertain to use this set based on new beliefs.
    10. Fundamentalism is supported by other believes, and these, on other until it reaches the foundational beliefs.

  8. The essential place of imagination in developing scientific knowledge is also illustrated by discoveries that result not from coming to know generalization, but from apparent refutations of a proposition thought to be already known. Scientific knowledge does not develop, then, simply by inferential extension of what we already known. Normally, it emerges only after we use some imagination, both in formulating questions and in framing hypotheses to answer them.
    The central point here is that scientific knowledge does not automatically arise as we observe our surroundings. If we start with the idea that perception is basic for scientific knowledge, the picture which readily comes to mind is that one makes observations, inductively generalizes from them, and, through the inductive transmission of knowledge from one´s premises to one´s conclusion, comes to know the truth of a generalization. If we knew nothing through perception, we would have no scientific knowledge or even everyday observational knowledge and however much scientific knowledge one can acquire by instruction and testimony from someone else, the discoveries which that knowledge represents must be made partly on the basis of perceptual experience. We acquire knowledge as we look into our own consciousness by thinking about things we already known and by drawing inferences from those propositions, we extend some of our knowledge.
