So we've discussed 3 ways in which philosophers argue that we acquire knowledge; rationalism
(through reason we gain objective knowledge), empiricism (through our sense experience) and constructivism (we "construct" knowledge based on our science, language, etc.) gaining subjective knowledge. Which of these 3 theories would you say you most agree with? Give at least 2 reasons why.

by going to the hell we call school and experiencing things in new and more interesting ways
i think we gain knowledge through empirisism. even though science and logic is more effective, gaining knowledge through expirence gives you more of a feeling of the knowledge. basically, you can tell a person using science about something and understand it, but with expirence of the subject can know more than being just told
I think we construct all of our knowledge. Our reality is made up. Who's to really say what is right and what is wrong, whats true or what is false. Its all based off of beliefs, thats why laws and rules change throughout life. Beliefs change and knowledge turns from false to true or true to false. Its all based on what we've constructed it to be.
