Does what we discover in science reflect what really exists in the world? Can science access external, independent, ultimate reality? “Realists” say Yes; “anti-realists”, No. Can we discern the ultimate reach of human knowledge? Clearly in science, but also, potentially, in theology. That’s what “critical realism” attempts to do.

Great history lesson on the development of philosophy into and out of scientific use in bringing about consensus: scientific conscience.
For the test of true knowledge is humility, for there arises ego are pretentiousness.
The true test of Wisdom is forbearence and mercy, for there arises the true vision of cause and effect, so being of faith to the law that was laid down, that is the princple of balance.
The true test of power is in mercy and undetstanding, in realizing true power is equanimity, in allowing others to believe that you're wrong, even allowing oneself to suffer the injustice and denigration by those unwittingly incurring great karmic debt.
Persons worship their minds; what's familiar to them, what their personalities aspire towards, and how their mileu shapes their thinking.
Overcoming the mind is very difficult tje wiseman state. Without such trial and surmounting one doesn't hasn't true vision.
Your mind is the only tool that you have that can set you free. So why demonise it?
@@TheEmptyBeing for where did I state such? All the wiseman reveal that the mind is what bondages a man, and too, the mind also is what may liberate them if they seek to understand such powers and are of discipline.
@@S3RAVA3LM very true
She looks a bit like Ricky Gervais
❤❤❤❤❤
it just reminds of descartes' "i think therefore i am"....that's the only thing we could be sure of
But, wasn't Descartes putting the horse before the cart?
Shouldn't it be "I am, therefore I (can) think" ?
Existence should come prior to affirmation of the existence.
@@Jun_kid that's the same thing in my opinion ....the better case you could make is by saying "how can i be sure that i'm thinking " to which i will say "i doubt if i'm thinking or not but doubting itself is thinking so i' can be sure that i'm thinking"....if you one step further to kant's critique of pure reason , you could doubt reasoning and say that reason itself sets the limits of what we can know ....at the end i would say we don't know anything for sure
@@parthdeshwal4419 *that's the same thing in my opinion*
Really??
"I (can) think" is an affirmation of what comes i.e., I.
Without I existing how can I think?
Thought doesn't happen in vacuum, it needs an anchor, i.e., someone who 'owns' the thought. So the 'someone' must exist prior to the thought coming into existence, isn't it?
Affirmation is not a proof/evidence let alone a cause.
@@parthdeshwal4419 I can exist without thinking or reason at all. Presumably you don't think your existence stops just because you enter deep sleep? As long as my physical location is verified by another physical location than I exist. If I am in a coma, I still exist because the molecules in my body are interacting with the molecules on the ground (assuming I am laying on the ground). Whether I know who, what or where I am is irrelevant, I am wherever I am in a state of Existence.
@auditoryproductions1831 No you can't
the O true 😅😂😂😂
...If we honestly keep an objective outlook, remember that our reality, Time/Space is just here & now, & there is a different realm reality or level, there are many differences between, our life & Eternity. How can we be so arrogant as to think our present Time/Space is the only reality
We are born open blank canvases, each of us with different fingerprints
Live, learn, grow in knowledge as you have. We may know the systems of the synapse, the mechanical electrical chemical operation. How marvelous, I would tell you there is so much more to learn, & experience, respectfully, ordinarychuck hotmail... captivus brevis...you tube...Blessings...
...oh Belial, oh Beelzebub: Faith no more? I know: to occupy the throne of God! But not today. I invoke: faith for my eyes, and they light up the filaments of Time: and I don't walk blind...
Yes, there are optical illusions, but the senses do a very good job of interpreting reality. If not, driving on the freeway would be impossible. 😂
I doubted everyone and everything.
Know I understand why the brain is the morphology that it is.
It's all domestication programming.
All theology, philosophy are outdated they very moment they come into existence.
Have you ever placed your idea and conception of theology and philosophy on trial. There's are reason those with eyes see not, and those with ears hear not, for all remains but a parable to them.
For scriptures and sacred texts are profound and concocted in the form of mysticism for a reason.
I'm not going to say you're wrong, but are of an opinion that is not scrupulous or erudite.
There's an appropriate theology and philosophy for every time and place, and sometimes for every individual. The fact that there are places, people, and societies for whom they aren't of value doesn't mean they're broadly "outdated."
