For todays blog post I had to look up 5 terms or concepts that relate to my my subject which happens to be "Our knowledge of the world around us" They all let us in on how to understand the world around us with our new knowledge. But to understand something you have to know how to see it. Natural Theory is how you understand something with your beliefs to guide you there. Opposed to Decartes' Theological Response which is a 5 step process that is the chain of human reasoning, the steps include: Asking yoursel what can I know for sure?, If it is certian that we have thoughts and expirences then it is certian we exist, accepting God as a perfect being, it then follows with what seems like god made us with errors so that we can learn from our mistakes, and if we go through these steps we can understand that our senses and powers for reasoning are reliable source of knowledge for the truth aout the world around us. We also need to have a sense of what is real Indirect Realism is when we don't see anything but pull a mental vision of what it is. Idealism is similar because it is when your brain represents an object that may or may not be there. Both unlike Direct Realism that is a straight forward logical, living ansmer, or seeing something infront of you. You stay classy Jacksonville.
