“We know with confidence only when
we know little; with knowledge doubt
increases” (adapted from JW von
Goethe). Discuss this statement with
reference to two areas of knowledge.
Allows us to see
This statement regards that by knowing more, your doubt increases. This is due the
fact that you get to know more perspectives towards certain situations, expanding
the spectrum of your positions towards certain topics.
This statement basically questions how knowledge can makes us doubt about things
even more. It is a sort of a paradox, were supposed to know things by fact if we have a
wide spectrum of knowledge, but the opposite happens: With more knowledge, your
doubt increases.
Which leads to...
To what extent does knowledge allows us to see singular perspectives?
This question can regard every Area of knowledge. The point
of it is how certain area of knowledge can influence a
statement regarding another area of knowledge.
This question can regard every Way of knowing. The point of it
is how certain area of knowledge can influence a statement
regarding another Way of knowing.
This responds through
This question can regard that the individual has enough knowledge of certain topics to be able to pose a
counterargument towards certain statement or declaration. This will allow the individual to explore the
different perspectives that can be reached when it comes to discuss certain topic or statement.
Produces
If the individual possesses the enough knowledge to be able to counter argue certain
disagreement, then he/she can see different perspectives and understand what they
mean. This allows the individual to have a more central position towards a certain topic.
An individual can have different perspectives towards a situation regardless of
how much this individual knows about certain topic. The individual can be critical
enough to possess counterarguments towards something the individual barely
knows.

Many scientists build more theories regarding the origin of mankind. As more knowledge is
discovered towards this topic, more and more theories are built to explain the origins of
life. Some of these theories explains that life came through the asteroids, or it just
developed on its own.
To what extent does the quantity of 2 or more Ways or Areas of knowledge affect the
way we see certain topics?
This question regards any Area of Knowledge, you just need to choose two or
more. The point of the question is the amount of knowledge you have on a
certain Area of Knowledge and how this affects the way you see different
topics in life.
This regards majorly on memory, you need to be able to
remember a lot of statements regarding certain topics to
get the quantity of knowledge that you need to open
more perspectives and doubts towards that certain topic.
This responds through
Possessing great insight towards two or more topics reaches and extent of the
way the individual is taught these topics, how much input the individual has
towards the topic and the individual’s interest.
Produces
If the individual has certain knowledge of two areas of knowledge-such as the
natural sciences and religious knowledge systems- then the individual can have
certain perspectives towards a certain situation regarding the areas of knowledge
studied.
The individual does not need to know a whole lot regarding different areas of
knowledge to successfully build doubts and counterarguments.

Evolution can be regarded as fact in the scientific community, but it is regarded as total fallacy in many religious cults. An individual
who possesses knowledge regarding these two areas of knowledge can build many perspectives and positions towards certain topic,
this topic being evolution. Where humans created by a god, or was it just process of natural selection through the course of millions
of years?
This obtains a...
By having greater amounts of knowledge DOES build more perspectives and built doubts towards certain
statements. It is a matter of to what extent does knowledge begins to build these counter arguments, regarding the
different areas of knowledge and the amount of knowledge you know in your mind to be able to counter argue
many statements.
I agree: with more knowledge, the positions you observe are wider
and you get more perspectives towards something compared to just
one.
