Discovering Philosophy Part 2

Post by Tiberiusmoon »

Part 1: https://onlinephilosophyclub.com/forums ... 20a0c41c1a
To continue:

After a bit of studying I hit a wrong answer; as I had already reapproached how to learn I decided to approach what makes a answer wrong.
After some thought I created an example with basic arithmetic: If we were to study the question of 5 + 4 =; we can break the fundamentals down by seperating the "numbers" from "symbols".
Then if we find the fundamentals of numbers they can be represented as dots of value.
Now, if we were to cause an inaccuracy in the fundamentals we can intentionally create a wrong answer, so if we took the 4 dots that represented 4 and added two dots the answer would change because logically your view/knowledge of the question is built upon the 4 dots having additional or wrong value.

After doing some research into such inaccuracy it can be described as misinformation, which lead to fallacies.
I then reflected on myself as to why these inaccuracies occur, from a personal perspective it can be a matter of mental focus while studying, assumptions and bias.
These all have a similarity of lazyness or fatigue where one is a bad habit we can be aware of and the other is a matter of personal care.

After that a study buddy of mine spoke about revision, which got me thinking of how revision could apply to this approach of learning.
One point is to memorise parts of a subject as not to forget them but that alone wont help; Second point is to re-evaluate the fundamentals of the subject so you can strengthen your knowledge. With consideration to a psychology post about memory being more effective when linking memories together this is a more rational approach to revision.

After various angles to approach learning both inside and out of academics I have determined this to be a solid foundation of learning where learning more about how or why answers are wrong can help answer questions correctly, and breaking down topics or questions fundamentally can give you more knowledge on the topic which helps draw logical solutions.

For these reasons a answer wont tell you much but a question will tell you eveything you need to know.
With this my approach to any question, subject or philosophy is this: Broaden my view/knowledge of the question/subject beyond common sense that is within reason, reflect on my own knowledge with critical thinking, then logically piece everything together like a puzzle.

With this I feel I can answer any question or explain any philosophy.

If you feel there is something off with this approach, let me know. :)
