Abstract

48
Q

This is sometimes
called simple apprehension.

A

Abstract

49
Q

“simple apprehension is the act of perceiving the object
intellectually, without affirming or denying anything
concerning it. To apprehend is to take hold of the thing as if
with the hand; an apprehension, as an act of the mind, is an
intellectual grasping of an object.”v

A

According to Charles Coppens,

50
Q

“simple apprehension is the act of perceiving the object
intellectually, without affirming or denying anything
concerning it. To apprehend is to take hold of the thing as if
with the hand; an apprehension, as an act of the mind, is an
intellectual grasping of an object.” The product of this
process is called a

A

Concept

51
Q

Once words are associated with
concepts, they are called

A

Terms

51
Q

This stage involves affirming or denying concepts

A

Judgement

52
Q

The act of judgement is combining two or more
concepts together.

A

Putting two or more concepts together to
make a statement or proposition.

53
Q

This completes the act of the mind for knowledge to become
possible

A

Judgement

54
Q

2 Types of Statements

A
  • Analytic Statements
  • Empirical Statements
55
Q

The truth or falsity of the knowledge claim being
made by

A

Analytic Statement

56
Q

are also identified as truths of
language, truths of reason, maters of logic, A Priori, or
formal statements.

A

Analytic Statement

57
Q

Its truth or falsity depends on the state of affairs being
claimed.

A

Empirical Statement

58
Q

You will not be able to discover the truth of the statement
by mere analysis of the key terms but you have to go
outside of the statement and to look and to see whether
the state of affairs claimed actually corresponds with the
empirical world.

A

Empirical Statement

59
Q

It is also identified as truths of fact, synthetic, matters of
fact, or a posteriori.

A

Empirical System

60
Q

2 types of knowledge

A

Formal and emperical knowledge

61

Method of validation depends entirely on the particular
system being used.

A

Formal knowledge

63
Q

Includes hard sciences and soft sciences

A

Emperical Knowledge

64
Q

Takes emphasis and makes useof the data or the content from experience and its correspondence with the state of
affairs to establish the truth or falsity of their knowledge
claims from these empirical sciences.

A

Emperical knowledge

65
Q

can often be used to mislead people

A

Logical fallacies

Unfairly attacking a person instead of the issue. Attacking the character and/or reputation of a position’s supporters; “Guilty by association

A

Ad Hominem (Argument Against Man)

67
Q

Occurs when an opponent’s position is misinterpreted to make it easier to critique. Just like a …. resembling an actual man, an argument is presented
that resembles the original argument but is not the actual
argument.

A

Strawman

68
Q

This line of reasoning
fails by limiting the options to two when there are in fact more
options to choose from. Sometimes the choices are between one thing, the other thing, or both things together (they don’t
exclude each other).

A

False Dilemma/False Dichotomy -

69
Q

When a person’s argument is just repeating what they already assumed beforehand, it’s not arriving at any new conclusion. We call this a circular argument or circular reasoning.

A

Circular Argument/ Begging the Question (Petitio
principii)

70
Q

are typically related to the issue in question but aren’t quite relevant enough to be
helpful. Instead of clarifying and focusing they confuse and
distract

A

Red Herring (Ignorantio Elenchi) -

71
Q

Fallacy assumes something is true (or right, or good) because other people agree with it. A couple different fallacies can be
included under this label, since they are often
indistinguishable in practice.

A

Bandwagon Fallacy (Argumentum ad Populum) -

72
Q

Personal attacks, and emotional appeals, aren’t strictly relevant to whether something is true or false. In this case, the fallacy
appeals to the compassion and emotional sensitivity of others
when these factors are not strictly relevant to the argument.

A

Appeal to Pity (Argumentum ad Misericordiam)

73
Q

This fallacy happens when we misuse an authority. This misuse of authority can occur in a number of ways. We can cite only authorities—steering conveniently away from other testable and concrete evidence as if expert opinion is always correct. Or we can cite irrelevant authorities, poor authorities, or false authorities.

A

Appeal to Authority (Argumentum ad Verecundiam) -
