Re: Do you agree...
My rationale is that we can not think about anything that we can not perceive with our senses. The power of rationality is nothing but the inference among old references.
I completely agree with you. But there are certain innate traits within humans that have nothing to do with senses. Like our basic instinct of survival. I'm also quite certain that you already aware of the Socratein proof of rationalism that proved the knowledge of geometry (the Pythagorean theorem to be exact) that a completely uneducated boy possessed. You have to concede that there is more to knowledge than just the senses. The primary reason being that if you are an absolute empiricist, there is no where you can go with it. Heck, even David Hume had to concede that there are certain things that the senses cannot account for. In addition, Hume was also a huge skeptic where as I prefer to think that there is indeed a world out there that exists outside of my perception.
