Did I already know that? This video is about Rationalism and Empiricism. Two concepts to do with Epistemology. The both deal with how we learn and both have there disadvantages and advantages. I will leave it up to you to decide which is better.

A lot of people have been watching my Rationalism Vs Empiricism Video recently. Makes me wonder if I should do more Philosophical videos as well as some science ones. 
If you have any suggestions, leave a comment below :)



 Rationalism Vs Empiricism 

[valsotto]

"nothing is certain" is a self destructive statement cause its a universal statement of certainty that nothing is certain. 

[WhatAreYouBuyen]

I gain most of my knowledge from watching youtube videos, I learned through my sensory perception, therefore I obtain this knowledge from experience.

[TheMrDudeWTF]

so many spelling mistakes.. I read 'Empirisim' and 'Solipism'..

[monkeyjacket]

Assuming you still check this video from time to time, can I get a source on the music/mother's heartbeat thing?

*Did you already know this?*

Now that is the question. But did I already know what? This video is about Rationalism and Empiricism. Two concepts to do with Epistemology. They both deal with how we learn and both have there disadvantages and advantages. I will leave it up to you to decide which is better. 

Did you already know this?

This is my first video on Philosophy and as I found, it is incredibly hard to explain well. I hope you like this little video on Rationalism and Empiricism. Enjoy

I believe that all knowledge is neither priori nor a priori. We are born with knowledge and we also get knowledge from experience. So both approaches are valid.

[raazbabbar]

What I believe is that Intuition is a direct conclusion from subconscious, which cannot be trusted and it's like a hypothesis. Deduction is the real measure of the truth and can validate if the intuition is true

Rationalism Vs Empiricism

"a piori" "a postori" fucking hell

[Tamer_]

The one example of an innate idea (music taste) you just showed to be empirical - derived from the experience of the mother's heartbeat? What is a less flimsy example of an innate idea, or a priori knowledge?

[KroshTV]

i juggle them both to guide me in my decisions to gain better experience in the path of my life.

[noctislucis]

God, I love every aspect of Rationalism to the very core. They were right, knowledge is indeed all the experience you will ever need.

[sickofcounting]

Question: Would the act of thinking to come to a conclusion count as experience? So wouldn’t all thinking be A posteriori?

[FreneticZetetic]

I'd argue rational consistency, being reason, is the key. How can nothing become something? If humans are conceiving these concepts in their consciousness to map the "external world", why do we contradict our own definitions? Paradox, mystery, and contradiction are not explanations for the universe!

[extinctionistrecordsblackm]

the music in this video is insane. what were you thinking?

[stephenkirby]

The preeminent goal of philosophy should be that of encompassing a maximum of epistemological concepts through logical deduction with a minimum of hypotheses or axioms. That is, to take all of the philosophical isms out there and create the understanding of them all by the usage of one hypothesis or axiom, don’t you think?

[BryceBro]

Things like this always make me think both are true, and everyone is just trying hard af to be an absolutist.

[swifterbator]

This video was really helpfull and helped me get a good start on making my presentation on Rationalism Vs Empiricism which pre-vid was a very big topic. After watching this, it became easy to select the right content, and I ended up with 5- (equivalent to a B- I think). Thank you.

I am an English teacher to mainly Japanese college students. When my students make sentences up like, "Which do you like chocolate?", and I get that 'jarring" feeling, would it be more useful to think of this empirically or rationally? If I suppose they wanted to say something that I would say in the form of something like, 'Which chocolate do you like?", is my knowledge or perception recalled from a rational or empirical process. Are my intuitions empirical? Is my knowledge faulty when I, upon repeating the process change my mind about either the speaker's intention or the way I would reform any sentence to align with what I suppose to be a 'natural' or 'standard' form?
