The truths of reason

A lot of people thinks that they know everything in the world but they don't prove it, they just say that is right or wrong but they don't show any procedure of how they found the final result.
As Fernando Savater said "I must seek arguments that enable me to accept my knowledge".
He is telling us that he always tries to prove his result with arguments o knowledge but he never says something not proven.
You can get knowledge from experience, and that's one of the best knowledge you can get, but still not enough to say that you know evereything like in this days lots of people says, and the truth is that we know nothing compared to what we should really know about life or other similar subjects.
Another way that someone wants to prove reason, is when two people or more are arguing and 1 person says that he is right and never goes down from there, they think they always have the reason and gives bad infomation just because their "life experience".
That's why since i read this chapter i know that i won't have the reason until i have enough arguments to prove it, or reasons to show.

  1. I think your post is very well explained. In addition i would say that people have to consider that is not only by experience how we get knowledge. Fernando Savater also says that w get knowledge from studies and our parents, so maybe people should be more open minded in that sense, to not limit their knowledge to only one kind of knowledge gathering. Do you think the knowledge we have right now is true? or does it depend from person to person?

  2. I think it would be impossible to know everything like you say, but we can try to understand it at least. It is not obligatory that people tell you the arguments or the process to get to the fina result, it is a human capacity to identify patterns and decide if we accept them or not.
