Two Areas Of Knowledge: Doubt Is The Key To Knowledge

This statement suggests that as one finds out there is more to what they know then uncertainty increases. Confidence is the quality of being certain of your abilities or having trust in the knowledge you have gained. Doubt is being uncertain about something or to have difficulty in believing something. Persian proverb states that ‘doubt is the key to knowledge’ as it involves questioning preconceived ideas. It allows one to reexamine what is already known to be the truth and to see if any further implications could be made allowing more knowledge to be gained. This process continues on until one is satisfied or believes that they had reached the borderline to it. But, to what extent can we know that what we know is little? In this essay, I will be addressing two areas of knowledge, Natural Sciences and Human Science.

To what

This can be a valid idea in certain respects as little knowledge of a subject can cause a person to think they know the important aspects of a certain field. Therefore, some knowledge does have limits to a certain extent which prevents increasing doubt. People have different beliefs and some would not be willing to accept new knowledge that would contradict with the existing knowledge that they believe in. For example, evolution has always been a mystery to scientists because there is no exact evidence that can determine the religious claims. It is impossible to know exactly how humans came to Earth but for now scientists can only come up with hypothesis on how humans originated. They began with the assumption that God does not exist but since they weren’t able to justify if God existed or not. In this case doubt decreases since no further research could be made and we can therefore assume that they had reached the limit to
