Document Summary
Philosophy: comes from the greek word philos (cid:523)(cid:498)lover of wisdom(cid:499)(cid:524) He expresses a new way of speaking. He noticed if vocabulary shrinks then we cant conceptualize ideas. Sometimes if we don"t have the language we cant express our ideas. You can"t have just a conclusion you also need a reason to it. Reasons are (cid:498)you have your own opinion and i have mine(cid:499) But, is this quote an opinion or is it true? (both can be argued) Epistemological is the theory about knowledge. Knowledge turns out to be an opinion important in arguments. Subjective: is one"s opinion, to do with a person and what they feel. If you believe that everything is an opinion you have to explain it. Ex. (ow can the exact number of the speed of light and someone"s favourite colour both be compared and opinions? (the speed of light is a known fact) We make conditions based on conversation with others.
