When Robert claims that, “the US is undergoing a deep epistemic breach”, which is a split in not what we value or want, but in who we trust, how we come to know things, and what we believe and what we know-what we believe exists, is true, has happened and is happening. The primary source of this breach is to make a long story short.
5. Robert means by “tribal epistemology” as the systematic conflation of what is true and with what is true to what is good with the tribe. The mindset that leads to this is that the far-right rejects the very idea of neutral, binding arbiters; there is only us and them, only a zero- contest for

    Imagine inhabiting a piece of land long enough for you to live and experience the same culture and life as your ancestors. To inhabit a place that you not only admire but that you also worship, just for it to be taken from you out of nowhere by people who look at the land you call home as a way to get money. Tribe explores history along with anthropology and psychological perspectives. Sebastian Junger examines a sufficient number of concepts related to the term “tribe,” from Native American culture and traditions, to experiencing tragedy with your community, and to soldiers who have PTSD. Junger portrays the meaning of tribe throughout the book as loyalty, one’s sense of belonging to something, doing something more significant than oneself, and being given the opportunity find purpose in your community.…

    The Hell You Say: Critical Analysis In this article originally published in the New Yorker, Kelefa Sanneh is giving us a very objective view of free speech and the two sides to it. He points out that on one side the liberals are arguing that there should be some kind of limit put on it so that people don’t get offended. On the other hand conservatives are arguing that free speech is one of our most fundamental rights and there should be no restrictions placed on it. He illustrates the arguments made by the two sides but fails to make an argument of his own and write a coherent essay.…

    Malfunction Alert Thesis: The united states government has become extremely dysfunctional over the course of the last few years according to many professional writers. Elements that contribute to a defective Washington are polarization, tribalism, and the inflexibility of politicians. Susan Page, author of “Divided We Now Stand” explains that many Americans are aware of the increasing polarization, a stance on an issue defined by a party, and that citizens believe that politicians are more polarized than them. However, Page argues that voters are to blame as well.…

    Justifying belief and what is knowledge’s nature and scope is well defined by the philosophical stance of “naturalized epistemology” in that knowledge comes from the empirical sciences though it’s application of theory, methods and results. Knowledge comes from proving things. This is different from the classical foundationalism which asserts the need to basic belief from which other beliefs can be built on. This essay will discuss the distinctiveness of naturalized epistemology, then how it differs from classical foundationalism and conclude with why it is referable. It should be noted that both systems of knowledge have many variations and so this short essay is more a general discussion.…

    The university invited and uninvited poet Tom Paulin various times because of comments he had made about anti-Semitism. Paulin said, “Israel had no right to exist, that settlers on the West Bank ‘should be shot dead,’ and that Israeli police and military forces were the equivalent of the Nazi SS.” After the department heard “censorship, censorship” they said “"This was a clear affirmation that the department stood strongly by the First Amendment." Fish said, “It was of course, nothing of the kind; it was a transparent effort of a bunch that had already put its foot in its mouth twice to wriggle out of trouble and regain the moral high ground by striking the pose of First Amendment defender.” I agree with Fish in this case because it’s quite obvious that the Harvard English department had already done their research on Paulin, meaning that they probably knew he had said those comments.…

    In his work on analyzing the racial contract, African-American philosopher Charles Mills points out a very dangerous feature where many of the current mainstream textbooks shared: they intentionally choose to ignore or failed to emphasis the role that race factors played throughout history. He argues that since most of the educational materials that we are using have been strongly influenced by the white dominated culture, therefore, it is no surprise to see that we are programmed to study racial contents in limited terms through a narrow angle. Mills claims the “white privilege” has indirectly manipulate and discourage us from thinking outside of the box and that we were stuck in understating social aspects of our lives in a pre-fixed environment:…

    People often reject the unique, they look with a quirked eyebrow and a disfavouring eye on those who are different. In an unspoken agreement, the majority decided to don a negative attitude to the minority. Perhaps one of the most finespun, subtle discriminations in the world we live in today is that against the left; so inconspicuous is it, that most never realise its existence. Most would sneer, “how can there be discrimination against left? It’s just a direction, a handedness, an adjective,”, but ‘most’ are the unwittingly biased majority.…

    1.0 Introduction “Well, dreams, they feel real while we’re in them, right? It’s only when we wake up then we realize that something was actually strange” (McCateer, 2010). Inception is a science-fiction movie, which was produced and directed by Christopher Nolan in 2010. ‘Inception’ as a concept refers to the situation when you plant an idea in someone’s mind without his or her knowledge of it happening (Rivera, 2012). The movie explores the ability to differentiate dreams from reality (Malcolm, 2010) and therefore looks at two branches of philosophy - metaphysics, and epistemology.…

    Two of the most intriguing schools of philosophy are the two which deal specifically with epistemology, or, what is better known as the origin of knowledge. Although they are not completely opposite of one another, they are argued in depth by two of the most famous philosophers in history. The origins of study in rationalism and empiricism can be found in the 17th century, during a time when various significant developments were made in the fields of astronomy and mechanics. These advancements undoubtedly led to the questions that probed the sudden philosophical argument: What do we truly know? Many people throughout history began to question whether science was really providing them with the true knowledge of reality.…

    Plato's View Of Relativism

    • 1680 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The Traditional Understanding Although a key issue in contemporary times, relativism dates back to the beginnings of Western philosophy. As Baghramian (2015) notes, the earliest documented source on relativism can be traced back to Plato’s account of the Sophist Philosopher Protagoras of Abdera (490-420BC) who, during a period of increased contact between people of different cultures in ancient Athens, claimed that “Man is the measure of all things; of the things that are, that they are; and of the things that are not, that they are not” (p. 233). While it is unclear whether Protagoras’s comment was necessarily relativist in the way that relativism is used to attack his ideas today (Marc & Curd, 2000), Plato interpreted Protagoras as meaning…
