Blog Post # 5

For this blog post I am supposed to ask a question relevent to my topic, I ask,"How much do we really know about the world around us?" I personally feel that we barely have scratche dthe surface on what is out there. People as a whole are making new technological achievemnt everyday, not just in Playstations and flat screens but in medicine and history as well. I disagree with Decartes theories they are dumb, foe movies they're great but sadly it's just a moie, it's not real. However I do agree with his theological reasoning process, it's 5 steps to know if something is real or not.(p.140-42 Problems with Philosophy). I think that these are general enoguh questions that are being asked to solve and question and you can go deeper into that by taking 1 part of something and learning that. For example the heart, it beats as one through the ventrilcles and atriums, but if you question that you can break it down into left and right ventricles and even further to the SA and AV node answering anything that would be questioned.
