“Epistemology is the philosophy of knowledge: How do we know what is true or false, what is real or not? Can we know anything for certain, or is it ultimately hopeless?
Again, the Greeks outlined two opposing approaches to the problem of knowledge. One is called empiricism, which says that all knowledge comes through the senses. The other is called rationalism, which says that knowledge is a matter of reason, thought. There are other answers in epistemology as well. In fact, empiricism and rationalism have never been entirely exclusive.”
Dr. C. George Boeree
“The beauty of the heart is the lasting beauty; its lips give to drink the water of life. Truly it is the water, the giver of drink and the one who drinks: all three become one when your talisman is shattered. That oneness cannot be grasped by reasoning.”
Masnavi II:716-18
