Comment on Post of Steffany Rowen
Rowen mentions the viewpoint of empiricists on truth that is truth should be based on
observations and it should be subjective in nature. The phrase “subjective” signifies anything that
is based on personal tastes, viewpoint or feelings. However, I do not agree with this thing since
generally people considers those aspects as a truth that have any proof and explained with the
factual examples. Observations can either be true or wrong. In addition, dissimilar people may
have dissimilar observations. Therefore, observations cannot be considered as base for truth.
However, I consent with Rowen on the aspect that those in power shape the knowledge in
manners that maintains the existing circumstances since usually people do not consider or pay
full attention to the views of the less powerful persons.
Comment on Post of Tatianna Leeks
I consent with the Leeks on the aspect that the valid or proved experiments or
observations are considered as truth. Leeks states believe of Empiricists that just scientifically
tested and valid observations are considered as truth. In addition, I consent with the statement
that approach of empiricism is more quantitative, not like interpretive that is more analytical and
qualitative. Leeks mention the critical theory and states that it is based on 3 significant aspects
that are: normative, practical, and explanatory. I also consent on this thing since researchers are
initially required to construct realistic solutions to any problem and then they can respond to that
problem. I also believe that statement of Leeks that Empiricists do not consider any statement to
be true until it is tested and validated.
