In this entry it is will discuss the features of Methods of Philosophizing. Truth and Knowledge Truth lies at the heart of any inquiry. It is a fact that has been verified. Knowledge is simple data that comes from the outside that pass to our senses. It must be truthful to gain validity and acceptance. Propositions Philosophers consider truth as a kind of quality or value. Propositions are statements about the world or reality which may or may not carry truth. What is truth and why is it important? Knowledge is the clear awareness and understanding of something. It is the product of questions that allow for clear answers provided by facts. What we know is what is observable or evident in the real world. Propositions which are observed to be real or truthful are considered FACTS. There are statements, however, that are not evidently or immediately known to be true and they are called CLAIMS. They require further examination to establish whether it is true or false. Truth and Fact: ARE THEY THE SAME? A fact is something that’s indisputable, based on empirical research and quantifiable measures. Facts go beyond theories. They’re proven through calculation and experience, or they’re something that definitively occurred in the past. Truth is entirely different; it may include fact, but it can also include belief. For example: “If you get an A, then I’ll give you a dollar.” The statement will be true if I keep my promise and false if I don’t. Suppose it’s true that you get an A and it’s true that I give you a dollar. Since I kept my promise, the implication is true. 2 Doubt has a very important purpose in philosophy as it drives our desire to discover truth. Nothing is taken as true unless there is sufficient reason and evidence to prove that it is indeed true.I am alive. Am I alive? I am alive. I have a body. Do I have a body? I have a body. I can breathe. Can I breathe? I can breathe.
