回復 169# Tachikoma
Yes, I do agree that this world we live in have many 詞語 like「假設」「模型」「理論」「定律」「知識. However any language is finite and limited, soon you will run out of words when try to define and explain what certain words mean. Hence there must be a basis of something that you cannot define and in the hope that when you say these words out other people will have a similiar belief/view as you have. You say '知識'不能跟「Faith」「believe」混同, but they are all closely related. There is a part of belief when you define '知識' if 知識=knowledge in English.
Plato (I'm sure you do know who he is) himself define 知識 as ' justified true belief'. If the element of belief does not exist in knowledge, then by Plato it is not really knowledge. And knowledge is one of the basis of science. The development/advance of science relies heavily in the knowledge we learnt from the people before us. No scientists can go all the way back to the fundamentals and start proving them all again. He/she would have died before he/she finishes justifying all his/her beliefs are true by Himself/Herself. In reality, they all put good faith in the knowledge they already have, taught by someone in the hope that it is true. Hence my saying 'Even in science we are more or less practicing our Faith'. One more clarification, when I say science is practicing Faith, I'm not saying religious faith. I am saying the Faith we have in science believing it is true and correct.
It might be a bit long but please thoroughly read through what I said and I look forward to hearing your opinion. |
