Epistemology Notes
- Model Agnosticism
- The brain’s perceptual systems actively and pre-consciously interpret and edit their input
- Because perception is not absolute, all of our ideas are somewhat conjectural and inferential
- Some people believe psychiatry can find the true essence of mental disorders
- Some people take mental disorders to be restrictive myths that do not exist at all
- We should take a model agnostic perspective towards mental disorders
- Logical positivism
- If a single set of views were to dominate society, the world would be static and dull
- Emptiness
- Things that philosophers thought they knew through pure reason often ended up being wrong
- The scientific method cannot lead to certainty, but only high probability
- Liberal Humean
