Pragmatism & Feminism Epistemology - Week 4

         i do in fact believe that pragmatism and feminism epistemology both challenge the view of knowledge as detached intellectual activity. for pragmatist every belief is like a scientific hypothesis and every action is based on beliefs is like an experiment that either confirms or refutes viability. we should all think that we start our lives with natural or basic knowledge that is expected to develop through experience as we grow through life. we as human beings do learn through experience from young ages. for example as toddlers our parents all told us not to touch something because it was hot they knew it would hurt us but we still had to see for ourselves was it really hot and would it hurt. often learning the hard way is the way many people gain knowledge. 
        To me knowledge isn't about how much informations and facts you can memorize but knowledge is to truly understand things we believe in and what we want to know and get out our lives. overall each and everything we experience adds to our knowledge and we develop and learn from it .
