  • A comment on Conversation: In what ways may disagreement aid the pursuit of knowledge in the natural and human sciences?

    Dec 4 2012: hey just a pointer is alot of comments have been made regarding natural sciences and disagreements in that objective approach ....just remember to see all types of knowledge .. and try and refer to a subjective view if possible...

    Dec 4 2012: i really dislike your generalization of "just the way its" ....so u think no form of knowledge is gained from personal experiences of achivements or mistakes and failures in life??? Does knowledge have to be some form of empirical data etc can it now be a detail or an ability of a skill??? And mistakes many pppl learn the deep subjective values of life through experiences and mistakes in which they seem to be enlightened. ....for me although comparison is a good way to achieve knowledge it is too objective and is definitely not just the way it is..... i agree with ur example of rote memorization however what about personal data which does have sentimental value to someone it does not have to be compared for it to gain value!! maybe not to us put to that certain person it may have value.......

    Dec 2 2012: yes it is this whole question if for an essay for the IB programme ...the subject is Theory of Knowledge .....thisis one fo the 6 questions world wide which must be chosen to do by all IB students ....this coversation was actually quite handy seeing different views ....however i am struggling to find an example for how disagreements help in the human sciences!!! I have found for natural sciences but am stuck with subjects such as economics and psychology!!!
