“ Philosophy?”. “Sounds fun. I’m excited to start learning PHILOSOPHY!”.
That was my first thought of Philosophy. I don’t really know what exactly will I learn in Philosophy. I had this own understanding that Philosophy is the same as Psychology. But after my first Philosophy class, then I know that Psychology is the study of mental processes and behavior and that Philosophy is the love for wisdom. Hearing wisdom, I was quite sure that it was the love for knowledge. But again, I was dejected because my lecturer said that wisdom is not the same as knowledge. Wisdom is the element of personal character that enables someone to distinguish the wise from the unwise. It is the art of thinking.
Philosophy became interesting to me when I see that

Red Herring is when the topic or issue discussed is smoked screen by another or new not related topic or issue that in return leads to the abandoning of the original topic. This tactic is used to distract the attention from the original topic that lead towards a false conclusion.
Next, the school of thought in epistemology. Epistemology means the origin of knowledge. Is the origin of knowledge derived from divine inspiration? Or is it derived from our brain capacity? Those are the mystery of life that even the philosophers do not have the answer for. But the philosophers, they do have some logical arguments which are separated to two schools of thought in epistemology.
The first one is rationalism. Rationalism is more neutralized because it is derived from religious based knowledge or ‘A Priori’. It is knowledge that you get from religious activity or inspiration that you cannot explain from logical perspectives. A Priori also believes that humans are born with a buried knowledge about the world inside the mind and that the brain is just acting as the mechanism. Those who assert that by reason alone can discover knowledge. The agent of A Priori is innate ideas - the buried knowledge in the mind.
The pack of gum is used to divert the viewers' attention from the actual product while creating a sense of flavored chewing fun at the same time (apple computer, 2006). This diversion tactic is known as the red herring fallacy. The red herring fallacy is when an object or idea whose sole purpose is to provide a distraction from the main issue at hand (gassham et al, 2002)
Rationalism is the theory that opinions and actions should be based on reason and knowledge rather than religious belief or emotional, while empiricism is the theory that knowledge is derived from senses-experience which stimulated the rise of experimental science. The philosophers Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, and Hume all have different views on the existence and nature of external objects. Some see it as the view on objects as everything is sense related other see it that it is all from thought but the object is not existent.
All the symptoms that were described were based on the kidney functions, so more and further
For example, one type of red herring is Otis Amber. The reason why Otis Amber is a red herring is because the clues lead to him, such as Chris, and Denton Deere's clues (grains=Oats=Otis Amber), and Theo Theodorakis, and Doug Hoo's clues ({on=1 to=2 thee=3 for=4}= a chemical solution, and Otis), but he is not the answer, in fact Julian R.Eastman was the answer and the clues was to keep the reader off track from the real goal. In the story it states that Otis was a wrong answer, but the heirs still insist Otis is the culprit, but it's actually not (Raskin 117). Another red herring is the clues given to the heirs. The set of clues given to each and every heir don’t lead to the answer they are leading the heirs a different way, and it misleads the reader, and as it states in the book the westing will said it was what you don't have that counts which was the will (Raskin 43). All these reasons support the fact that there are red herrings in this book and it is required for a mystery.
Philosophia comes from the Greek to mean “the love or pursuit of wisdom”. Philosophy to Catalin Avramescu is “a little bit like what Augustine famously said about the concept of time. When nobody asks me about it, I know.
Red herring is a tactic an individual may use to distract from the real problem or issue occurring. One example of this is when Brock’s father exclaims how wonderful Brock is and his academics are outstanding. He goes into discuss a memory of him and Brock together, studying for a spelling test he takes every Friday. On their way to school, they would practice spelling words.
A Red Herring is where an individual in the argument states something that skewers the argument because of an outside clause.
Most career politicians have mastered the red herring technique, that is to say; they appeal to emotion of a receiver in order to distract from a main issue and in turn manipulate sentiment into order to persuade the outcome of a topic without providing factual evidence.
A red herring is when you drift off from the main idea of the argument to impose your own points, to distract readers from the main point and bring about a false conclusion. The focus here is Severus Snape and how he was unfairly treated throughout his childhood, but you keep bringing it on James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.
The term “philosophy” means the love of wisdom, and those that study philosophy attempt to gain knowledge through rationality and reason. 1 Socrates, the father of ancient philosophy, once stated “the unexamined life is not worth living”. This is the most important part of life and it is need to find purpose and value in life. If a person chooses to live their life without examination, their life would lack value and they would be unhappy. They would also be ignorant to the effects of their choices on themselves and the people around them.
Although the ideas illustrated in The Consolidation of Philosophy are highly religious, there are no actual purely Christian ideals detailed in the text. However, the text can be interpreted as a universal truth to God and a guidebook to living divine in the earthly plane. Throughout the allegorical situations presented by Lady Philosophy, Boethius steadily accepts the role of fate, desire, and chance on his life. In the beginning of book four, he embraces his position, “And though through grief for the injustices I suffer, I had forgotten them, yet you have not spoken of what I knew not at all before. But this one thing is the chief cause of my grief, namely that, when there exists a good governor of the world, evils should exist at all, or, existing, should
Philosophy, like all other studies, aims primarily at knowledge. The knowledge it aims at is the kind of knowledge which gives unity and system to the body of the science,
There are two main schools of thought, or methods, in regards to the subject of epistemology: rationalism and empiricism. These two, very different, schools of thought attempt to answer the philosophical question of how knowledge is acquired. While rationalists believe that this process occurs solely in our minds, empiricists argue that it is, instead, through sensory experience. After reading and understanding each argument it is clear that empiricism is the most relative explanatory position in epistemology.
Epistemology- Epistemology is the division between empiricism and rationalism in different ways of thinking about how we reason and rationalise that knowledge and how it is reliable and certain, epistemology gives us our professional theories, beliefs and practices and how we differentiate between what is true and false. (Scott, 2014).
Doing philosophy as many philosophers demonstrate over time and in the present is to simply question the understanding of what is known and not known or accepted and unaccepted. This is to say, that philosophers must question all aspects of life and all the surrounding dimensions of the world. In doing so, the philosopher is trying to grasp a firmer or different understanding of the truth that is either presently or not presently known; whether comforting or not comforting. One of the world’s most famous and original philosophers Socrates, had a student named Plato who explains this very concept of philosophy in the “Allegory of the Cave” when describing what it would be like for the newly free prisoner to realize the actual true reality in which the prisoner lives in. “[The prisoner would] be pained and dazzled and unable to see whose shadows [the prisoner had] seen before”, but the prisoner would now see reality more clearly than previously seen before. (Plato) Though the prisoner’s revelation seems to be uncomforting, Plato follows this newly sorrowful seen reality by asserting that the prisoner’s next steps in continuing would be to “see the sun, not images of it in water or some alien place, but the sun itself, in its own place, and be able to study it.” (Plato) The prisoner could now expand on this new realization of reality and allow this new view to further carry the prisoner to future and further understandings of reality and its
