Immanuel Kant: Experience Without Theory Of Knowledge

Disagreements are a common aspect to our mundane life, due to our own personal biases where we strongly believe the validity surrounding our perception and as a result we are willing to give into conflict in order to show evidence that our opponent’s arguments are invalid. That being said, disagreements are necessary in the process of establishing facts, specifically within areas of knowledge such as the natural sciences and history. Facts contain simple knowledge, where they tend to have a close correlation with theories, as one derives from another. As stated by Immanuel Kant, “Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play." The facts that we all have access to can be considered valid since they provide a foundation for theories to be developed further with continuous experimentation. Facts however can be applicable to observation since through the observation of similar facts, the experts in this case are able to understand the concepts relevant to the particular investigation. However, our own personal biases and knowledge developed from our

In reason, deductive and inductive reasoning play a vital role within experimentation. Deductive reasoning involves making generalizations based on present situations. Inductive reasoning however involves forming generalizations based on observations done previously. Reason can often be considered within the context of rationalism, where individuals are able to deduce given evidence and evaluate valid arguments in order to formulate a conclusion. In order to broaden knowledge known universally, rationalists interpret beliefs beyond any confirmation bias and doubt. There is a strong divide on climate change even though all of us agree that climate change is happening and humans are a great cause of
