The modern rationalism is the Existentialism which postulates that ``existance precedes the substance`` in a sense that the nature of our inspirations as the outcome of space-time which is aprioric. In this sense, the inspirations in our age would be different than those in times of antiquity.
Terrific, thank you! Where do I find the other lectures in this series? This was wonderful in both content and presentation, a pleasure to see and hear! Pete Eklof SLP in NH
Wouldn't the argument that 'Knowledge once acquired that now cannot be recalled is not knowledge at all' contradict the empiricists view in that if the individual later proceeds to remember what he/she had forgotten then it would be as if he/she 'acquired' that knowledge without having observed anything new?
Taking the example you have about the rule of large numbers; it doesn't make any sense at all that the principle of general uniformity can come from even an infinite number of experiences. If I found that I had a billion heads in a row after flipping the coin a sufficient number of times I would still not be able to say that the next coin flip is anything but a 50/50 chance of coming up heads. The problem is with inductivism. The future does not resemble the past. If that were the case there would be nothing novel in the world which is self evidently not the case.
The repetition of experience compels us to assume the same experience and compels us to assume uniformity of nature. That's the bases in kids mind for such conclusion The reason the law of big nubmers is not intuitive is because it does not happen in our experience.
Isaiah 57:15 For this is what the high and exalted One says-- he who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.

that was humes problem of induction -- no matter how many previous times something happens you can never say you know it will happen the next time.

@@Dosadniste2000Sure, it tends to compel us to assume the uniformity of nature but the question is whether we have good grounds for that assumption.

what was the reading assignment ?
Isaiah 57:15
For this is what the high and exalted One says-- he who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.
Thank you for sharing that...
