How do we acquire knowledge: Empiricism
- A.
Predominantly began with Descortes, looked at doubt and dualistic thinking; more specifically the machine-like body
- B.
Predominantly began with Locke, thought we began with a blank slate, and thoughts went from simple to complex

- D.
Predominantly began with Galton, studies fingerprints and more specifically Eugenics
Correct Answer
B. Predominantly began with Locke, thought we began with a blank slate, and thoughts went from simple to complexExplanation
Locke's theory of empiricism suggests that knowledge is acquired through experience and observation. He believed that the mind is a blank slate, or tabula rasa, at birth, and that all knowledge comes from sensory experiences. According to Locke, our thoughts start off as simple ideas and then develop into more complex ones as we gain more experiences and information from the world around us. This theory contrasts with other options mentioned in the question, such as Descartes' focus on doubt and dualistic thinking, Darwin's emphasis on evolution through natural selection, and Galton's studies on fingerprints and eugenics.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. Sensitive
C. Rational
E. VegetativeExplanation
The Hierarchy of Souls model proposed by Aristotle includes three levels: Sensitive, Rational, and Vegetative. The Sensitive soul refers to the ability to perceive and respond to sensory stimuli. The Rational soul is associated with higher cognitive functions such as reasoning and intellect. The Vegetative soul is responsible for the basic life functions of growth, nutrition, and reproduction. This model suggests that different organisms possess different levels of souls, with humans being the only ones possessing all three levels. The terms Anatomical, Deceptive, and Irrational are not mentioned in the given model.Rate this question:

- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Phrenology, studied by Gall and Spurzheim, is indeed the study of depressions and gaps in the skull to diagnose internal problems within the brain. This pseudoscience was popular in the 19th century, proposing that specific areas of the brain are responsible for different personality traits and abilities. Phrenologists believed that by examining the shape and size of these skull irregularities, they could determine a person's character and mental faculties. However, modern science has discredited phrenology as it lacks empirical evidence and is based on unfounded assumptions.Rate this question:
