Q&@

SUCH AS
DETERMINING THE SHAPE
OF THE EARTH, BUILDING A BRIDGE
OR CURING A DISEASE - we collect empirical data and analyse them mathematically!
When faced with an ethical problem - such as determining whether to allow divorce, abortion &
homosexuality {etceterara} - we read scriptures? This solution was adopted to some extent by our
numerous modern societies, from Victorian Britain to 21st-century Iran?! Humanism, however, offered
an alternative! As humans gained confidence in themselves a new formula for acquiring ethical knowledge
appeared: KNOWLEDGE = EXPERIENCES x SENSITIVITY! If we wish to know the answer to any
ethical question, we need to connect to our inner experiences and observe them with the utmost sensitivity?
Thus, engel in practice, this means that we seek knowledge by
spending years collecting experiences, and
sharpening our sensitivity so
we can understand
these experiences
correctly.
