curiosity about what surrounds us, trying to understand how the universe and the desire to penetrate into the unknown world beyond, have always been a sign of the human mind.When people feel something, experience or observe what happens to the others, they learn and fix, wanting not only to correctly understand what the situation, but is it possible to comprehend the truth.Learning philosophy is one of the most interesting questions, because the philosophy of trying to rationalize and explain the various processes taking place in the human brain, and aimed at obtaining knowledge.
learning process is more complex than simply the accumulation of knowledge - it is a creative, cultural and social;it involves not only rational, but intuitive and sensory mechanisms of thinking.That is why the knowledge of philosophy is a particular problem, which is engaged in theoretical section, called epistemology and epistemology.Start of epistemology as a special branch of philosophy put Scot Ferrier in the XIX century.This philosophical discipline studies how the methods and principles of learning, and the way in which knowledge is his attitude to the real world, if he had a border, and what is the relationship between what is learned, and those who knows.There are many different theories of knowledge, criticize each other and offering many concepts about what knowledge is true and authentic, what are his views, and why we all are able to explore the world and themselves.
In short, philosophers in this area are engaged in the comprehension of why existing knowledge;how can we determine that it is the knowledge of having the certainty and truth, not a superficial judgment (or opinion), or even misleading;how this knowledge develops, and what are the methods themselves knowledge.In philosophy, throughout its history, is extremely acute was the question of what is the meaning of human rights and the acquisition of knowledge, it brings happiness or sorrow.But be that as it may, in modern society receive all the new knowledge gained such importance that he present stage of development of the society is often called information, the more so that it was united information space of humanity.
Knowledge in philosophy appears as a process of social, nature's value.History tells us that the people were ready not only to acquire new knowledge, but also to defend them, despite the fact that very often because of their beliefs had, and still have to pay with their lives, liberty, separation from loved ones.As this process, it is similar to other types of activity, studied philosophy and just like them, due to the needs (the desire to understand, to explain), motives (practical or purely intellectual), goals (acquisition of knowledge, perception of truth), means(such as observation, analysis and experiment, logic, intuition, etc.) and results.
One of the main problems, which are interested in philosophical thought, is how knowledge develops.Philosophy initially determined that the first type of knowledge was naive, ordinary knowledge, which eventually, in the course of development of culture, develop, giving rise to the emergence of the theoretical principles of scientific knowledge and thinking.This philosophy differentiates between principles and methods of proper philosophical knowledge and learning of specific scientific knowledge (philosophy of science).
philosophers also wondered about the role played in the process of cognition itself the knowing subject.Knowledge in philosophy - is not only the study of things and processes surrounding a person or place in itself independently of him, but also his spiritual life.Getting to know a person is not only aware that studies something external, but what is the study of impact on him.In addition, especially in the field of human knowledge, the state of the knowing subject, its values and beliefs can influence the results of knowledge.Evaluating this complex problem, philosophers different directions come to completely opposite conclusions.For example, knowledge of humanitarian positivists accused of lack of objectivity, and representatives of philosophical hermeneutics, on the contrary, considered the subjectivity specific feature of human cognition, which is so close to himself, and thus to the truth.
