I deeply affirm the value of certain skepticism, which is considered as tightly combining with the progress of individual and social recognition. However, certain skepticism followed by fundamental knowledge. Before students put their doubts on what they learn, they should first acquire enough basic knowledge to support their insight.
To begin with, what the truly effective education emphasizes is a means of transmitting democratic value and preparing students to bear several characteristics to explore the future, of which the most important, in my opinion, is skepticism. First of all, certain skepticism brings certain character of critical thinking, with which students can distinguish suspicion from credence, fallacy from rationality, and the like which pick up wrong from right. In the second place, certain skepticism brings treasure to society, which in the end promotes progress of social recognition in a whole. Immanuel Kant, whose work Pure Rational Critiques indulges nearly all the cannon theories the rational and reasonable evidence to exist. His great, certain skepticism influences later philosophers and politicians in a century, and is considered as huge impacts on the European philosophy and social recognition. Another essential example is G. Mendel, the founder of modern genetics theory. In the thirty years culturing and observing of pea, he finally overturned the fallacy assumption of human germination established by Aristotle, and thus prompted the older scientific cognition into a new realms. Certain skepticism leads to certain reliability, which both individuals and society need.
However, certain skepticism should be established on a systematic critical thinking, which calls for a fundamental education at first. That is to say, learning process must originate from accepting without querying, since we need basic knowledge to construct our critical logic. Evidence can be found in our early age of study. We have never asked the way our parents taught us languish until we learn that it is a process of instinct. We have never asked why the earth rotates the sun year after year until we learn that it is a phenomenon of gravity. We have never asked how the society is formed until we learn that it is an urgency of ancient people. In other words, teenagers should not pay much attention at their early age to focus on whether an experience is worthy of statistical reliability or whether the knowledge is always suitable for its range. They should always understand that the learning process is a kind of accumulation of knowledge, and what we have learned in the early age is widely accepted by numerous philosophers, scholars, researchers, as well as ordinary people. Even if the evidence is unsubstantiated due to the fact the skepticism is universe, they should at first obtain enough knowledge to support their viewpoints.
Finally, people at the level of graduate or higher, they can bring their certain skepticism for every detail of experiment, since what they have learned is totally enough in the construction of a logical, reasonably critical thinking. From this perspective, what the author claims makes sense. Moreover, certain skepticism is more like a responsibility, a duty for a graduate student to loyally bring to the relative fields they are engaged in. For students in Biological field, they should ask for explainable evidence for Genetic Recombination like Morgan, who finally found another principle of genetic; for students in Chemistry field, they should ask for a direct demonstration for Relativity like Hokin, whose later work the Principle of Time earns reputation almost equated with Einstein; for students in Economy field, they should ask for whether the Principle of Economy is indeed the principle of economical activity like John Nash, who contributes the Game Theory through the critical thinking from it. Abundant facts and contribution tell us that certain skepticism brings certain prosperity for knowledge and society, but it needs deep acquisition first.
To sum up, invaluable though the certain skepticism is, students in different periods should first make a proper assessment for their own ability, and then build critical thinking, or skepticism, with a strictly logical and erudite thinking. |
