Empiricism - Week 3 .

         Empiricism claims that all of our knowledge is based on our use of senses. In many ways this statement is completely true, but in some cases this claim does fall short. for the most part i believe this is true because from infants we learn many things just based off what we see, we learn to talk based off what we hear, which why people who have lost there hearing have a hard time pronouncing words they do not know what the word should sound like and can't hear themselves saying it to know whether they used correct  pronunciation. For example my niece who is one years old is learning and developing her vocabulary day by day didn't really know how to talk clearly or write and read yet but would make the noise of each letter in the alphabet because she had heard it so much. we as human beings do primarily learn through and from experience of our senses but as we get older more factors come into play and not just our senses. i think mathematical knowledge is one of the main. in a way i believe we learn mathematical through our senses without even realizing i say this because after we a taught a formula and know what it stands for when we see it the next time we automatically know what to do based on out last experience. but as mathematics gets difficult we cannot alway count on experience to give us correct knowledge.
