| | Questioning "Western Science" Continued. : İstanbul IMC |
 | | In India the ultimate 'truth' has always been held to be different from both avidya, the knowledge of the mortal world, and vidya, the knowledge of the immortal in man and the universe. | | | The conceptions that the whole world is potentially 'usable', that the divine mind can be deciphered to find ways to put the world to use, and that human knowledge at any given stage can be regarded as the uniquely true representation of reality are perhaps not originally Bacon's or even of his times. | | | Thus Husserl through his phenomenology will not only provide apodictic certainty about the 'meaning of the truth' of Baconian sciences, but will also 'prove' with the same certainty the unique 'humanity' of the Greek humanity and its descendants, the European people. |

| | The Socratic Method, by Leonard Nelson |
| | To Socrates the test of whether a man loves wisdom is whether he welcomes his ignorance in order to attain to better knowledge. | | | But this is contingent on the appearance of teachers who will find the key to his language by resorting to the "maieutic" services [note] of the Socratic method, instituting the laborious and Protracted exercises that must not frighten away those who plan to dedicate themselves to philosophy. | | | As a faithful disciple of Socrates and of his great successor Plato, I find it rather difficult to justify my acceptance of your invitation to talk to you about the Socratic method. |

| | LT78 - TWO VIEWS OF HISTORICAL CRITICISM - II. HISTORICAL CRITICISM AS AN HISTORICAL METHOD |
| | For instance, Catholic form-critics halt their dissolving of the historical truth of the biblical text where a dogma of the Church would otherwise be attacked, not because their exegetical method calls for them to halt, but because the discipline of faith demands it. | | | After claiming to have eliminated almost all of the historical reality from the Gospel accounts, and to have exposed the literal teaching of the Gospels as primitive religious fantasy unacceptable to modern man, he had to find some excuse for contemporary Christians to believe and for contemporary preachers to preach. | | | Historical method basically involves four things: a) a technique of investigation; b) an ability to identify what really took place; c) knowledge of what others are affirming in one's own field, in cognate fields, and in allied disciplines; d) an ability to express correctly what one has ascertained. |

| | I found the use of the Socratic Method to be vastly superior to the traditional forms of discussion in its effectiveness at engaging conservative Christian men on this dialogues subject. | | | The advantage of the Socratic Method over the more common forms of discussion or debate is that the Socratic questioner may abandon the burdensome pretense of knowing and take the more subordinate and dialectically effective role as a seeker of understanding. | | | The Socratic Method deconstructs peoples understanding using their own words and leaves them with the experience of being less sure of what they previously knew with greater certainty. |

| | LT77 - TWO VIEWS OF HISTORICAL CRITICISM - I. HISTORICAL CRITICISM AS A CRITICAL METHOD |
| | Rationalism acquired its modern meaning in 1637 with the publication of the Discourse on Method of René Descartes (1596-1650), in which he declared that there are in man certain innate, self-evident principles from which all true knowledge must necessarily flow. | | | The present article is critical of the "historical-critical method," as this term is commonly understood today, but it is aimed only at technical aspects of the method itself and does not question the good faith or loyal intentions of the Catholic historical-critics whom it quotes for the sake of example. | | | Scholars of the historical-critical school profess that, in traditional Catholic exegesis up to and often including the twentieth century, the limitations of the human authorship of the sacred books were systematically overlooked or underestimated, while scholars of the traditional school maintain that historical-critics downplay the divine authorship and the supernatural effects of divine inspiration. |

| | Yet it is easy to perceive that almost all the inhabitants of the United States use their minds in the same manner, and direct them according to the same rules; that is to say, without ever having taken the trouble to define the rules, they have a philosophical method common to the whole people. | | | The philosophical method here designated may have been born in the sixteenth century; it may have been more accurately defined and more extensively applied in the seventeenth; but neither in the one nor in the other could it be commonly adopted. | | | The philosophers of the eighteenth century, generalizing at length on the same principle, undertook to submit to the private judgment of each man all the objects of his belief. |

| | Chapter 4 |
| | For many hypotheses this method of induction couldn't possibly have been used for the simple reason that these hypotheses contain theoretical terms whose instances either have not as yet been observed or even more importantly for some cases, observation is in principle impossible. | | | This emphasis on the collection of facts, while an improvement on the medieval method of citing authorities, can be overemphasized to the point of obliterating the contributions of the creative imagination of man. Furthermore, the motto "observe and compile all the facts" is demanding the unattainable. | | | The method attributed to Bacon, therefore, overstresses observation or "fact" gathering without giving proper role to man's judgment in the formulation of hypotheses by his creative imagination. |

| | About the Suzuki Method |
| | His Talent Education Method is an internationally-known and respected way to instruct children in music mainly because of its highly successful results both in producing wonderful musicians, and more importantly in Dr. Suzuki's opinion, wonderful human beings. | | | When Suzuki was a young man, living and studying in Germany, he was struck by the ease with which the very young children around him spoke the language which he, as an adult, was struggling to learn. | | | The Suzuki method of learning music (or as Dr. Suzuki preferred to have it called, Talent Education) is modeled on the "Mother Tongue" method, or in other words, how we all naturally learn to speak our native language. |

| | The first cause of absurd conclusions I ascribe to the want of method; in that they begin not their ratiocination from definitions; that is, from settled significations of their words: as if they could cast account without knowing the value of the numeral words, one, two, and three. | | | And being hereby forced to disperse themselves into several parts of the world, it must needs be that the diversity of tongues that now is, proceeded by degrees from them in such manner as need, the mother of all inventions, taught them, and in tract of time grew everywhere more copious. | | | To have faith in, or trust to, or believe a man, signify the same thing; namely, an opinion of the veracity of the man: but to believe what is said signifieth only an opinion of the truth of the saying. |
