"The knower's perspective is essential in the pursuit of
knowledge." To what extent do you agree?
Central Knowledge Question
To what extent can religious
knowledge systems and ethics be
considered inseparable notions?
Subsidiary Knowledge Questions
To what extent does personal
knowledge influence shared
knowledge on religion and ethics?
To what extent are transcendental
concepts influenced by religion
and ethics?
To what extent are
religious beliefs influenced
by cultural conceptions?
To what extent can ethics
stand alone without the
influence of religion?
Thesis (my position regarding the title)
Societies who dictate and bound their whole
lives to religion and its values end up solely
basing their ethical decisions around faith too.
Political values and decisions which eventually end up
building a society's/nation's or community's ethical
views can't be separated from religious notions.
Education can't be separated from
perspective, therefore it can;t be
separated from religious notions.
Reasons that I'm interested in the title
My favourite Areas of Knowledge
are exploitable. from the point of
view that stems from this thesis
Showcases the importance and
influence of an individual's perspective
when accepting other points of view.
Looks for a relation between different
Areas of Knowledge and Ways of
Knowing within a same discipline.
Ethics
Ties in with politics,
education, and religion.
Reason, Emotion, Intuition, Faith
Religious Knowledge Systems
Religious values, ties in with politics and education.
Faith, Emotion, Language, Memory
Possible counter-arguments
One can pursue and digest knowledge
from a completely unattached and
neutral point of view on the matter.
The knower's perspective isn;t
expected to shape or try and change
the acquired knowledge.
