What Are Facts: Rationalism and Empiricism

The word “facts” is becoming more and more popular in conversations regarding politics and problem solving. One might often hear that their side has all the facts while the other side does not. We use the word ‘facts’ almost in an antagonistic way, in this sense. But what are facts? Are there different types of facts? Are all facts equal? In this video, I hope to explore this question while also offering a very basic introduction to epistemology.

Ahh coincidence, I recently used the same example as you used. “All bachelors are unmarried”. But it’s not true that all bachelors are sad, but just an experience.

The perversity of the rationalistic and naturalistic spirit is not be so much in the object aimed as in the manner of aiming thereat.
Rstionalism or naturalism may propose to itself a good object, but without the help of God and without obedience to God.
St. Thomas calls attention to this, when speaking of the sin of the rebellious angels: "In this way the angel sinned, seeking by his action of his free will his own good, irrespective of the order laid down by the Devine Will."
