Study Notes
Knowledge and Truth
- Understanding progresses systematically from known concepts, leading to absolute truths about nature, existence, and morality.
- A priori truths are innate and independent of experience, relying on reason alone.
Types of Law
- Civil Law: Enforced by authority figures such as courts and police to regulate right actions.
- Divine Law: Established by God, regarded as the ultimate guideline for human conduct.
The Human Mind: Descartes and Hume
- Descartes claimed, "I think, therefore I am," emphasizing the connection between thought and existence.
- Hume challenged the concept of the self, describing it as merely a collection of changing perceptions.
Perceptions
- Two perception types:
- Impressions: Immediate, vivid sensations of reality.
- Ideas: Recollections of impressions that the mind forms.
- Impressions form the basis for developing ideas and complex thoughts.
Theories of Mind: Kant and Freud
- Kant: Proposed that the mind actively interprets sensory experiences, blending Rationalism and Empiricism.
- Freud: Viewed human behavior as influenced by subconscious drives (Eros and Thanatos) and emphasized developmental stages of the mind.
Freud's Structural Model of the Psyche
- The ego develops from the id, managing desires in socially acceptable ways.
- The superego arises from early identification with the same-sex parent, enforcing moral standards.
Language and Culture
- Language serves as a cultural identifier, adapting to societal changes.
- Culture shapes individual identity and behavior, with values being fundamental yet often unconscious.
Nature vs. Nurture
- Human behavior results from a combination of nature (biological) and nurture (environmental influences).
- No single formula defines human nature, as practices vary across cultures.
Self and Intentionality
- Intentionality: Actions taken with awareness and planning for consequences.
- Forethought: Anticipating outcomes to guide behavior choices.
- Self-reactiveness: Self-regulation influenced by goal progression.
- Self-reflectiveness: Involves evaluating personal motivations and beliefs regarding capabilities.
Collective Self
- Identity is defined within a group context, with strong societal ties influencing individual behavior.
- Group decisions often take precedence over personal choices, reflecting collectivist values.
Confucian Philosophy
- Confucius emphasized humanism, advocating for social relations rooted in respect and moral duty.
- The concept of Ren: Central virtue expressed through propriety (Li), filiality (Xiao), and righteousness (Yi).
Key Values in Confucianism
- Filial piety dictates respect for family and obligation to honor parental contributions.
- Personal behavior reflects familial relationships, shaping societal interactions and community ties.
