Week8 - Research

Source :

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/rationalism-empiricism/

My topic :

People try to justify their beliefs and behaviors.
(Human minds are able to control our beliefs and behaviors.)

What I hope to learn from this source : 

I wanted to learn about the origins of two different arguments about human minds which are called rationalism and empiricism. These are the beginning of my argumentative essay, because they represents main ideas about my topic's two opposite claims.

Notes : 

1. empiricism included intuition.
2. Descartes claimed that rationalism is prior to empiricism.

Final thoughts : 

I should search philosopher Descartes to examine the truth and probability of his thoughts, because they are conflicting with my opinion.
