Topic: Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of reason as a way of knowing?
KI: Is it possible to reach complex comprehension without the use of analogies?
Main Points:
1. The human brain is unable to access another structural pattern for reasoning, besides the one previously established by past experience.
Example: An uneducated middle age person is unable to do IB mathematics, with complete understanding of the process, without having gone through the build up of the concepts present in the equations.
2. Our understanding of the world relies majorly on dualism.
Counterclaim: The human brain is able to extract knowledge without the use of analogies in cases in which the knowledge is intrinsec in the object, such as in mathematical equations.
The KI might be better stated as "How does reason help with complex knowledge/understanding through analogies?"
