TheDreamer Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Well, sometimes our reason is based on the information from our senses. If I can only reason something by seeing it, if I loose my sight then I cannot make that reasoning.

under-cover Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 To be honest, I don't know if I've completely understood this quote. But I think it is talking about how there are some things we must use logic/reason for, and our sense won't always be what gives us the answer. In terms of ToK and the WoKs, you could talk about how our multiple ways of knowing (reason, sense perception, language and emotion) all work together in the pursuit of knowledge. Also, our ways of knowing can be used for specific things (e.g. to gain knowledge from art, it is a combination of sense perception and then emotion). Hope this helps you on your way to developing some good ideas for an essay. Good luck! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
