zulu, I was genuinely curious about what you could come up with, but in the end this appears to be an opinion blog, rather than an argument blog. It's not about answering questions, it's about finding reasons for those answers. The least you can do in argumentative form is

1) Answer the question straight away
2) Point out why the question is ill-formulated
2a) Reformulate the question in a better way and answer it
2b) Argue why you should not answer this question

All the steps of 1 or 2 can be done as an argument.


Ok fine, please

1. elaborate on what human culture is
2. why we should attach value to it
3.how we should choose what values to attach to it

You are doing it the wrong way around. This is your blog, so you should do the work. So let me rephrase your questions and hand them back:

1) What possible meanings does "culture" have?
2) How essential is culture for being "human"?


1. culture is the collective background of our everyday activities

2. very, i guess

Is there any tendency in the development of this culture? Any point of view you sympathize with? (now you can include modern art and continental philosophy )

My question: What is true knowledge?

P.S: Do you study epistemology?


everyone studies epistemology, the meaning of true knowledge varies greatly. But not until phenomenology do we get out of dualism (not really) and can actually investigate true knowledge or being instead of assuming we can never get to it. True knowledge itself really doesn't mean anything, the development of epistemology has been on how to obtain it.

Then when does one know what is 'truth'? When everyone agrees on it? Because as far as I know, the catholic church hasn't always been correct about the universe. (But then again, how do we know what we know now is the truth?)


yes... i also believe the catholic church hasn't always been right about the universe. Truth always has conditions. There is no universal and eternal truth. More importantly you should give up the curiosity or desire for absolute truth because its really quite dumb.

It's kind of a subject I'm taking so I'll just continue asking.

Then, do you think 'truth' is bound by consensus and applies for only a specific time-frame? Because before Einstein, things were thought to be 'true', then *bam*, Einstein appears and shatters 'truth', creating new 'truth'.

Yes I think theory of relativity is a very good example. What exactly are you studying? If you are studying "truth" within physical or human sciences I suggest you look into Thomas Kuhn and paradigms.

Studying "Knowledge and Inquiry". (I'm guessing it's more known as "Logic" in the US?)

Learning how to identify fallacies, identifying illogical thinking, countering arguments (and defining the argument), proving the validity of sources/'truth' through the modes of inquiry, etc. Just started, so I'm not that good yet :3

yea that sounds like intro logic. Are you guys leaning logical notations too? Have you read any Kant in your class yet?

Teacher mentioned Kant (guys laughed at him, teacher was like, "what? What's so funny?" ) before, as well as many other names and a few Greek philosophers.
