This prompt promotes the idea that knowledge is objective and not subjective to some extent. In my opinion, objective knowledge is mainly made up of more tangible and impartial things, for example mathematics. However, subjective knowledge is a person's impressions and opinions (i.e. these shoes are the best – this is not a fact because other people might like them). To begin, we must define the term knowledge. It is defined as a justified true belief. Another term that needs to be defined and evaluated is the systematic organization of facts. A fact is tangible, subjective numerical information. This is everyone's opinion based on personal experience. The first knowledge question that will be evaluated throughout this essay is: To what extent can one use logic and reason alone to evaluate a knowledge claim? The second problem of knowledge is: How does emotion as a means of knowledge hinder or help our ability to seek or evaluate knowledge? I will evaluate these knowledge issues through the use of two areas of knowledge, mathematics and the human sciences. We must discuss the two types of knowledge; objective and subjective knowledge. Objective knowledge is what happens in nature without the mind. However, this is not yet considered knowledge. It is just an existence, and the little things that make up the event simply exist. When there finally is a mind with language, we have the ability to acquire knowledge. The mind can use any means necessary to explain this event, but it cannot explain it completely without words. Take this example, a caveman, who has no language, but can create cave paintings. He comes to the edge of the hill and sees the sunset. He stands and...... middle of paper...... uh, promoting his interests in knowledge, this would lead to certain biased views/perceptions, which ultimately would hinder some of the knowledge that exists . For example, in psychology, some researchers tend to repeat the same experiment in order to obtain certain hypothesized results. This is the result of researcher/experimenter bias. This allows the researcher to ignore all other factors and outcomes that may have an effect, once the desired results have been obtained. Therefore, emotions are capable of both hindering and helping us understand knowledge. In conclusion, knowledge is more than the systematic organization of facts. While some knowledge is formed based on the organization of objective facts, such as personal experience, sensory perception, logic and reason, we humans use all means of knowledge to make sense of world around us..
