This document discusses rationalism and empiricism as epistemological theories about the source of knowledge. Rationalism holds that we can have substantive a priori knowledge about the world through reason alone, without sense experience. Empiricism denies this and claims that all knowledge must be based on sense experience. The document notes that most rationalists still allow for some knowledge from experience, and empiricists use reasoning, so the distinction is whether substantive knowledge about the world can be attained independently of experience through reason.

Tok 2 1
This document discusses knowledge and truth. It presents different theories of truth, including correspondence theory, coherence theory, and pragmatic theory. It also distinguishes between knowledge and truth, asking if something can be known that is not true or true but not known. The document then discusses different ways of knowing, including reason, sense perception, intuition/imagination, language, emotion, testimony/authority, and imagination. It presents examples of applying different "tests of truthiness" like correspondence, coherence, and pragmatic to evaluate statements. Finally, it discusses using concepts from ways of knowing and tests of truth to apply to an issue like gun control in a blog response.
Areas of philosophy in Education

Tables and figures are provided to illustrate these concepts.
Premium Ch 2 Thinking Like an Economist (1).pptx
This document provides an overview of key concepts from Chapter 2 of Principles of Economics by N. Gregory Mankiw. It discusses economists' roles as scientists and policy advisors, how they use models and assumptions to simplify complex economic problems, and two important models: the circular flow diagram and the production possibilities frontier (PPF). The circular flow diagram illustrates how resources and dollars flow between households and firms. The PPF shows the tradeoffs between producing different goods given limited resources, and how opportunity cost is represented by its slope. The document also distinguishes between microeconomics and macroeconomics.
chap007 (2).ppt
This chapter discusses equity markets and stock valuation. It introduces the dividend growth model for valuing stocks, where the stock price is the present value of expected future dividends that grow at a constant rate. Examples are provided to illustrate how to use the model to calculate stock prices given dividend amounts, growth rates, and required rates of return. The chapter also covers features of common and preferred stocks, as well as how stock markets operate.

The document discusses the concept of Ijarah or Islamic leasing. It defines Ijarah, outlines the mechanics and process of an Ijarah transaction between an Islamic bank, vendor and customer. It also lists the basic rules and requirements for common Ijarah products like car financing.
Diminishing Musharakah by Yahya Asim.ppt
Diminishing Musharakah is a type of partnership where one partner gradually purchases the other partner's share. It can be used for house financing like purchase, construction, renovation, and balance transfers. The key features include a Musharakah agreement outlining the investment ratio of each partner, with the property under the client's name. The bank's share is divided into units that the client promises to purchase at a pre-agreed price. An Ijarah agreement is signed where the bank rents its share to the client until the units are purchased.
capstruc.ppt
Capital structure can affect firm value due to market imperfections like taxes, financial distress costs, and information asymmetry. The static tradeoff theory posits that firms choose an optimal debt ratio that balances the tax benefits of debt against the costs of financial distress. While the perfect capital markets assumptions of Miller and Modigliani imply capital structure is irrelevant, real world frictions mean capital structure decisions can create or destroy value. Empirical evidence generally supports theories like pecking order that see capital structure changing dynamically in response to financing needs rather than a fixed target.
LECTURE 1 ONE SAMPLE T TEST.ppt
This document discusses one-sample hypothesis tests. It defines key terms like hypotheses, null and alternative hypotheses, Type I and Type II errors, test statistics, critical values, one-tailed and two-tailed tests. It provides examples of how to set up and conduct hypothesis tests to analyze a population mean. This includes situations when the population standard deviation is known or unknown. The examples show how to state the hypotheses, select the significance level, identify the appropriate test statistic, determine the decision rule, and make a conclusion.

- 1. © Michael Lacewing Rationalism and empiricism Michael Lacewing enquiries@alevelphilosophy.co.uk
- 2. Epistemology • How do we know what we know? • Types of knowledge – Acquaintance: I know Oxford well. – Know how: I know how to ride a bike. – Propositional: I know that elephants are grey. • Belief v. knowledge – Knowledge has a justification or evidence
- 3. Reason and experience • The terms ‘rationalist’ and ‘empiricist’ can be applied to – theories of knowledge – theories of concept acquisition – theories of justification – historical schools of thought • Why choose reason or experience? – Most rationalists allow knowledge from experience. – All empiricists use reasoning to establish conclusions.
- 4. Reason and experience • Experience: just sense experience? What about religious experience? • Reason: just reasoning? What about intuition?
- 5. A clear distinction • Rationalism: we can have substantive a priori knowledge of how things stand outside the mind. • Empiricism: we cannot.
- 6. Substantive knowledge • Substantive knowledge is knowledge of a synthetic proposition. Trivial knowledge is knowledge of an analytic proposition. – An analytic proposition is true or false in virtue of the meanings of the words. – Not all analytic propositions are obvious: ‘In five days time, it will have been a week since the day which was tomorrow three days ago’ - true or false?
- 7. A priori knowledge • A priori: knowledge that does not require (sense) experience to be known to be true (v. a posteriori) • It is not a claim that no experience was necessary to arrive at the claim, but that none is needed to prove it.
- 8. Two quick points • Empiricists do not claim there is no a priori knowledge; they deny there is substantive a priori knowledge. • Rationalists (except for Plato) do not claim sense experience can never provide knowledge.
