reason and experience need logics and coherency
Declining timeless ideals and contrastin opinions
There could be a problem about the words and the concepts we are using:
in this case your "reason and experience" versus my points of required "logics and coherency (internal and with natural reality)".
Human reason runs within logics but also with imagination, so coherency would reduce mistakes.
In my interpretation, Logics would be the ideal for reasoning without mistakes and experience should ideally note every coherence or incoherence with reality. What is your opinion for this assessment?
Gemini-Bard's reply:
Your
analysis is insightful and highlights the importance of both reason and
experience in moral decision-making.
You're
correct that reason involves both logic and imagination. Logic helps us
identify inconsistencies and fallacies in our thinking, while imagination
allows us to consider different possibilities and perspectives.
Here's how
I would respond to your points:
- Logic and Coherency: Logic and coherence are essential for ensuring that our reasoning is sound and consistent. They help us avoid errors and misconceptions.
- Experience and Reality: Experience plays a crucial role in grounding our moral judgments in the real world. By observing the consequences of our actions and the experiences of others, we can refine our understanding of ethical principles.
- Ideal vs. Actual: It's important to distinguish between the ideal of perfect reasoning and the reality of human limitations. While we should strive for logical consistency, it's unlikely that any human being will ever be completely free from errors or biases.
