PHLA10H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Reliabilism, Cogito Ergo Sum, Justin Bieber
Document Summary
Should: j. b would be interesting, interesting has good connection (ex: if a person who brings in lots of $ and is interesting should be, j. b would be interesting and has good connections for example $ mayor. If p --> q: j. b should be mayor. Therefore q: if a person isn"t qualified to be mayor of the city, then that. It is deductive and valid but it is sound? person shouldn"t be mayor of city: j. b isn"t qualified. (his track record in the past have been that of a stubborn slob. So his future action will be as well: j. b shouldn"t be mayor of city. General believe ---> fundamental believe ---> past experience. Foundationalism:every step of way, you have to know that you know. Bedrock from descartes: one thing we can know i think therefore i am = cogito ergo sum . Cogito = i think; sum = i exist: if x thinks, then x exist, i think, therefore i exist.
