Testimony, reason And rationality



ABSTRACT

Testimony is defined as a statement or declaration given under oath in a court of law or the sharing information about a religious experience. When evidence is reliably accepted by a person, beliefs are gained through it.  In modern society, many of a person's beliefs are directly derived from evidence or other beliefs derived in this way.  It is used as a philosophical fact about giving evidence. The primary focus of the philosophy of witnessing is scientifically. The broad interest in the topic reflects the centrality of reasoning in human affairs.  It also implies that in order to gain a broad understanding of logic, one must focus on the various projects and tasks related to it.

Keywords: Testimony, Evidence, empirical

1. Introduction

Testimony is believing someone when they make acclaim, and believing them because we think they know what they are talking about and are telling the truth. Testimony is important for most of what we actually know is accepted on the testimony of others. We don’t often get the chance to test the truth of what is told to us and yet we base outer life on these things. As well as even scientists accept what others say is so to build new knowledge. Acknowledging the complete reliance on past credible evidence in our credible system seems to place a pressure on a correlation based on the justification of our empirical beliefs.  A description of how beliefs derived from evidence can be justified and awareness cannot be temporarily described.  To be convincing, it must be a general concept of justified beliefs and the application of conditions to knowledge.   

Because some criteria that can be considered good logic are often silent, those who follow the evaluation project aim to determine to what extent human reasoning conforms to the hypothetical standard.  Ordinary people do not have the underlying logical ability to handle a wide range of logical tasks, so they have to exploit a simple heuristic collection that can be subject to serious anti-normative patterns that are either logical or biased.

2. CONTEXT

It is important to understand the process of understanding what is being said and to have faith in the speaker. This includes a concept of the nature of various speech verbs, including expressions.

This general concept of the link of evidence shows us that the narrator is sincere (believes what is said) and if your belief is true then what someone says (what someone says) is true.  Adult listeners find new opportunities to witness with all of this in their cognitive background; This, in turn, is a further empirical knowledge of human nature, which, in particular, is prone to lying and honest error.  There are two mechanisms by which blind faith can change a listener's response and focus broadly.  In fact, cognitive data will interact with background beliefs in this monitoring process.  If a trust is built without an assessment, the speaker assumes without evidence that it is trustworthy.

 Knowledge and justification can come in one direction: a reasonable belief in what someone is saying may fail to be knowledgeable, because even if the belief is false, or true, it is based on falsehood, but it is a just belief.  Possession of sufficient territory, logo, subject for her faith, we regard it as an essential condition to have knowledge-evidence beliefs and elsewhere.  This shows that there is a difference in the issues of knowledge and the reasons for sufficient confidence.

 To know what someone has been told, one must be able to gain an understanding of the generation of one's faith.  This means that one has the ability to defend one's statement by quoting what has been said.

3. PRAGMATIC OBJECTIONS

According to Gigenser, we cannot draw conclusions from experiments on human reasoning. People seem to argue in a logical way. No standard principle is violated as the subjects understand the work. For the performance of logical tasks to improve, it must be certain that the activism of the people is problematic.  In which case, for the statement that continuous performance improves performance Warranted, it must also be an opportunity for us to be justified in maintaining it.

4. CONCLUSION

In philosophy, testimony is a proposition conveyed by one entity to another entity, whether through speech or writing or through facial expression, that is based on the entity's knowledge base. The proposition believed on the basis of a testimony is justified if conditions are met which assess, among other things, the speaker's reliability and the hearer's possession of positive reasons.

Reason has thus become a perilous faculty without firm ground, without a net, without ultimate security. For this, you could also say Reason declines every (all too comfortable) exposition of itself as being rationality. Its enduring claim is to bring about clarifications through the transitional activity of a reason apprehended as reason.
