    This document outlines an assignment for a student to summarize their views on epistemology (ways of knowing) across different domains of knowledge. For each domain - natural science, social science, art, morality, and religion - the student is asked to identify whether their philosophy is absolutist, relativist, or evaluativist. They are also asked to rank various ways of knowing (sense, reason, perception, language, emotion) in order of importance for each domain and estimate the reliance on authority versus evidence/argument when justifying claims in each area.

    Note: This is your digital worksheet. You will find the instructions for todays module here. Perform the requested tasks using this Pages file. In other words, make it your own. Thank you!

    Part One: YOUR Epistemological World Views Summarize here your findings (even if tentative!) about your philosophies of knowledge: Absolutist, Relativist, or Evaluativist? Domains Natural Science Social Science Art Morality Religion Item #s 1, 5, 14 4, 8, 12 3, 7, 10 6, 9, 11 2, 13, 15 YOUR Philo of K Absolutist Evalutaivist Relativist Relativist Relativist Brief Reason + Remarks They is only one answer and reason for natural science Lost of reasons for social sciences where reasons may vary People have different opinions People decide their own faith and morality People have different religions in the world

    Part Two: Ways of Knowing How important are the different Ways of Knowing in the different domains? Rank them from 1 to 5 according to importance, with 1 as MOST IMPORTANT. If you think there are other ways of knowing/judging, use the last column and specify. Domains Natural Science Social Science Art Morality Religion Sense Reason Perception 2 1 4 1 3 4 3 2 1 1 Language 3 2 3 4 3 Emotion 5 1 5 2 2 Others?

    Part Three: AUTHORITY and/or EVIDENCE/ARGUMENT When you justify claims, how much do you actually rely on External Authority and Direct Evidence for every domain? Assign a percentage to each one per domain (Just make an estimate, so NO decimal points--e.g., 25.2321%!). Make sure both total 100%. Domains % AUTHORITY 20 60 50 70 80 % EVIDENCE /ARGUMENT 80 40 50 30 20 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% Brief Reason + Remarks

    Natural Science Social Science Art Morality Religion

    Evidence is more relevant since natural science can have claims More on authority since it depends Same since it will need both More on authority since it will depend Only little evidence is needed in religon

    Why do you think there is no OPINION in Part Three?

    Since every person would have different opinions and there will be different answers

    Some other learnings, comments, connections... Evidence is more important that authority
