Today I attended the 2nd campus session of the year. I had my first ever lecture from Alan Durant and discussed Module 2 and our progress.
(brief summary)
The lecture was about Positionality - thinking of where you are in context. You have to think about how you are viewing a situation from the outside, or from which angle.
Different methods like surveys and interviews will result in different answers. It depends on if you're looking for a broad result or if you're delving deeper into a subject.
We learnt about the different accounts of knowledge
- Metaphysics
- Rationalism
- Empiricism
- Pragmatism
How we come to make sense of things depends on where we are coming from.
The Knowledge Landscape ( created by Alan )
- Theology (Supernatural) - cannot be explained naturally
- Humanities (analytical, critical, speculative)
- Natural Sciences (demonstrable truths)
- Social Sciences (demonstrable qualities)
The Experiencing Self and the Remembering Self - Daniel Kathneman
'All of our experiences pass away forever...only our memories that we make remain'
Alan is going to post a blog about the whole lecture with more information.
