Just over 200 years in Königsberg one of the greatest minds in human history: Immanuel Kant Unfortunately, it's extremely difficult to read his works, but for each course is a crucial statement of his theory of knowledge:
All knowledge is tentative! Is a hypothesis. By the scientific experiment is only a hypothesis supported, but not to a irrefutable truth, for a future experiment could contradict this hypothesis.
So we are never in possession of universal truths, but in the possession of assumptions about the possible truth. Is daunting, even if we found a universal truth, that is a truth about the world that has timeless and in the whole cosmos to be valid, who could confirm that? The epistemologists calls this an insightful external parameters. Only someone in possession of absolute truths would be, that a divine being, a being who created the world.
in a God but we can only FAITH . We neither can his existence, nor prove his non-existence. We do not know whether the world has a beginning, that is a story of creation. The physics speaks of the Big Bang, which is only one possible scenario. There are significant contradictions in physics.
The Big Bang is an assumption, not truth. But cherished theories are defended tooth and nail! Dogmatism is also found in the natural sciences and many physicists has the makings of a Grand Inquisitor.
The humanities, in particular, the lawyers are no better. The inalienable human rights are sold every day because they very negotiable, and her return to natural rights of lawyers make the legal nature of a Naturunrechtler .
What if the universe had no beginning in time and space? Then we would not need a creator. No God. Or? However, we need a god. He was then always and ever since with the universe, but only as a caretaker, who looks in the galaxy after her and now and then instigates an evolution.
We need God or gods, because we need religions. We need it as a social bracket as spiritual stair railings, as a moral authority as legitimacy for display of power and war and terror and oppression. Everything is new, but rather old. Recently, quasi-religions have been added. The whining Ökopazifisten , nor tolerated by evolution, about to be recorded in the Endangered Species Act to be, as our home planet is far from pacifist and ecological functions best when Ökopazifisten involved does not arise.
Science, who think only they have interpretative authority and do not realize they have done with their final World Formula drivel a step in pre-Kantian mythology. It can in principle be no end of a cognitive process, only the knowledge seekers, if the power of
E = mc ^ 2 accumulated in the hands of people for whom the theory of knowledge is nothing more than a beer.
Then there are all 'the sects and Sektchen. If it were champagne corks at least, they would still make sense: to prevent the explosion. But as they are crazed and left empty bottles.
Ah yes, the hard-core New Agers. manipulate an ancient species, and in fact they were harmless, if not to influence so easily, and would not so often set up in a dogmatic beams. Now and then they flock to India for spiritual fine-tuning, singing fervently Ommm, Ommm and not even notice the cruel, inhuman Caste system. The Guru 's glad he goes to his colleagues at the Exchange, the stock market guru and orders shares.
A subspecies, the techno-mystics, one might say Technoteriker - my new word creation.
Or UFO gurus. The gurus are an inflaton species. In ancient times there were only the oracle at Delphi. Some basic knowledge of astrophysics, and it is known that contact with alien civilizations extremely unlikely, if not impossible. I would not like him, because the friend-enemy probability is 50 to 50, Almost as between neighbors. But why in general epistemology, if it ultimately is a basic permanent and temporary nature of their own thought must demand results?
The Circle of Kan t. If we use our intellect, our reason in the light of the always hypothetical. This protects against dogmatism, fanaticism and ideological blindness. You're open, looking forward without fear of the new and separates like the old one, because it only is baggage, and it should be either life itself.
In this sense I wish all my readers a "gutböses" Altneuesjahr 2011, as I did in 2009 to clarify which still would be, what distinguishes dogmatism of fanaticism?
The dogmatist collects the wood for the pyre, the fanatic, it ignites?
Soon more and more ... My heartfelt thanks for my soulmate for the patient proofreading my grams Mati alkaline error.
