Unnecessary Sophistry
( 16. The Absoluteness And
Relativity
Of Knowledge .3)
This philosophy
professor started to gossip about
the definition
of knowledge in order to prove his
fallacy:
not knowledge.
For this, he
listed many definitions of knowledge.
For
example:
The definition
of knowledge given by the ancient
Greek
philosopher Plato:
"
Knowledge is the belief that is proven
to
be true.”
At the same
time, the professror also introduced
Plato's three
evaluation criteria for knowledge:
the JTB
standard.
Namely:
Justify
(J), Ture (T)
and Believable(B)
And then, this
philosophy professor introduced
American
philosopher Gettier's inference
about
the definition
of Plato's knowledge:
" If a
belief cannot meet Plato's
JTB
standard for knowledge,
it is definitely
not
knowledge.
But if
that belief can meet that
standard,
it may not
necessarily be knowledge."
This philosophy
professor even deliberately
used
the statement of " Dawn is caused by
rooster
crowing" as an evidence to
satirize
the
effectiveness of TCM for diseases.
In order to
ruin TCM, such guys even weave
deceits from a
philosophical perspective,
which is indeed
very insidious
and cunning.
So, it
is indeed very difficult to deal
with
such deceits.
But in
fact, as long as we adhere to the law
of
medical
science, that is, we must discuss
science
based on
facts and medical
science based
on
therapeutic effects, then we can easily
crack
such deceits.
Because
any theoretical research must rely
on
the
analysis and study of objective facts,
and
any
theoretical research results are
either
derived
from objective facts or confirmed
by
them.
TCM can
effectively treat many diseases,
and
there are
already many facts to prove
it.
If
someone wants to use his
philosophical
expertise
to refute a large number of
facts,
it is a
joke!
Because
no matter how much knowledge
a person
has, when faced with a large
number
of facts,
even if he does not like or
understand
these
facts, he cannot deny any of these facts.
By this, we
know that as a philosophy professor,
it is
unbelievable that his understanding
of
knowledge is
still so superficial !
Obviously, his
understanding of knowledge
cannot truly be
so superficial.
In fact, he is
deliberately weaving logical traps
to deceive
others !
Alternatively,
please consider in detail.
As
philosophers, whether Plato or Geddel,
they
come to study
the definition of knowledge not
to deny a large
number of facts.
So, if faced
with a large number of facts that
TCM can effectively treat
diseases, Plato or
Geddel
would never to constantly fabricate
reasons
to deny a large number of facts,
like
some
academic fraudsters, nor try to seek
help
from ancient and foreign celebrities.
Now, let's talk
about the nonsenses said by
such a
professor like :
"
Dawn is caused by rooster crowing
".
The statement of "Dawn is caused
by
rooster
crowing " is at
best just a logical
error of
causal inversion, but this logical
error
has nothing to do with the
verification
of
effective treatment of diseases in
TCM !
And even more,
in fact, analyzing the correlation
between various
phenomena is one of the
commonly used
methods for studying the
characteristics
of things, and the result of this
analysis itself
is a kind of knowledge, at least
the starting
point of knowledge !
For example, to
analyze the relationship between
"dawn" and "rooster
crowing".
Of course,
"Dawn is caused by rooster
crowing "
is indeed a
logical error of causal inversion,
but this cannot be a reason
to terminate the
analysis of
the correlation between "dawn" and
"rooster crowing".
If we analyze
the correlation between the two
phenomena of
"dawn" and "rooster crowing",
we will come to
the following conclusion:
1. The day is
about to break, so the roosters
started
crowing.
2. The rooster
thought it was almost dawn,
so it started
crowing.
3. A big
rooster crows as early as possible
to show
off.
All these
conclusions have some truth, but
none of them
can be absolutely correct.
From it, we can know that correlation
analysis
is
the main stage of acquiring
knowledge.
Even if the knowledge obtained at this
time
still has
significant uncertainty, even if it
is
only
a qualitative
description or a fuzzy
judgment,
but as long as it is based
on facts,
it will
definitely have its own
application
value or
reference value.
Similarly, when
we get sick, taking a few doses
of traditional Chinese
medicine often leads to
our recovery.
Such examples
are everywhere.
We cannot deny
all these facts just because we
can't explain
the reasons behind all these
facts clearly.
On the
contrary, we should carefully study
the
correlation of
all these phenomena.
At least, we
cannot oppose others studying
this correlation.
And in fact,
even if the causal relationship is
not yet very clear, as long
as the treatment is
indeed effective,
the reference value and
practical
value of such correlations
cannot be
completely denied
!
This is
the Effectiveness First Rule.
In fact, we
humans have always strived for
survival and development based on
this
Effectiveness First
Rule.
For example,
the process of food digestion
is
only gradually understood in
modern times,
but even
now, it
is still not entirely clear
.
Howeve, in
reality, no one would ever stop
eating
just because he does
not fully
understand the
process of food digestion !
Or, just ask
those guys who always want to
ruin TCM:
" Can you write
out all the chemical equations
involved in the
digestion process of all foods
before eating
now ?
If you can't
write it out, how do you fabricate
any reason to
go eat ? "
Of course, such
guys never treat themselvs
like this
!
However, for a
long time, such guys have
always used
this method to ruin TCM !
Extremely
despicable !
