Roberto Bolaño one said, “People see what they want to see and what people want to see never has anything to do with the truth.” What he meant was that your perception is not always based on reality. Instead experience plays a huge role in our perception. People can gain experience by doing something or learning about it because experience is knowledge and the knowledge you gain affects the way you view things. Science furthermore proves that a human's point of view on topics is affected by the…

Faith is something what we want to believe without any logical explanation. It is not a purely epistemic concept. “Reason” means the application of logical principles to the available evidence. When faith become strong then the reason is meaningless. The question is “how do Faith and Reason relate?” Are we sure that there has a relationship between faith and reason.

practice their lives. If you are someone who always speaks nothing but the truth, of course others would be more likely to believe and have great trust in you. It is necessary to tell the truth no matter whatever the consequences you may face. The consequences may affect you negatively, then you would have to be fully responsible for it. I remember it vividly, my experience, when I had to make my decision on whether to tell the truth or shamelessly lie through my teeth. It was a tiring day at…

However, it also appears obvious to defend tolerance as a result of the mistakes from the different wars of religion. It is in this perspective that John Locke wrote his Letter on Tolerance, and I am going to try to analyse it.…
