33) As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more complex and mysterious.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
As we acquire more knowledge, things become more complex and mysterious in philosophy, but become more comprehensible in other fields such as physics and psychology.
In philosophy, the more knowledge we acquire, the more complex and mysterious things become because as we know more, we will find more problems in the things that seem to be very simple.哲学上,一个问题的解决可能会导致其他问题的出现,真理不一定越辩越明。举例:唯物主义者和唯心主义者对一个简单现象的不同理解。
In physics, things become more comprehensible as we know more because we can understand some phenomena as we know more natural principles.举例:在了解了万有引力定律后,人们可以理解为什么地球上物体会自由落体。
In psychology, things also become more comprehensible if we have more knowledge of psychology because we can understand people’s behavior in the perspective of human nature.举例:了解人的利己性后,明白贪婪行为的合理性。
