WEBVTT 00:10.550 --> 00:17.420 OK, now we are running, so let's take the third theory, the third way of looking at the concept to 00:17.420 --> 00:21.790 consider, let's call the theory theory and you see why. 00:23.180 --> 00:30.950 So in the theory theory, we look upon the concept of concept, like in the same way you do in scientific 00:30.950 --> 00:32.120 theorizing, I should say. 00:32.360 --> 00:40.340 So concept stand in relation to one another in the same way as the terms of a scientific theory, and 00:40.640 --> 00:45.320 categorizing is a process that strongly resembles scientific theorizing. 00:46.340 --> 00:47.540 So what do we mean with that? 00:47.990 --> 00:55.640 So if you take the typical loop in scientific theorizing here, so we started developing an abstract, 00:55.640 --> 00:58.570 coherent system is zero theory. 00:58.610 --> 01:04.520 So we have an idea about this, but then we make predictions and interpret and explain evidence using 01:04.520 --> 01:05.300 that theory. 01:06.080 --> 01:13.390 And then we experiment to test the theory of re-evaluated and see if it holds and when it's falsified, 01:13.400 --> 01:19.640 then we seek alternatives and then we back in a loop again and then we go on in this loop. 01:19.640 --> 01:24.170 So we all the time we try to evaluate and see if our theory holds. 01:24.170 --> 01:29.390 And if it doesn't hold, then we make small adjustments to it and we try to predict things and then 01:29.390 --> 01:31.490 we might make small adjustments to it and so on. 01:31.760 --> 01:37.610 But we see that the theory is such will not be true in that very classical way. 01:37.790 --> 01:41.030 It's something that for the moment is the most accurate one. 01:41.180 --> 01:44.960 This is where we are right now in our knowledge acquisition, so to speak. 01:47.000 --> 01:50.240 So often, right is someone that has worked a lot with this. 01:50.240 --> 01:56.000 And he's saying that once he's in the if you have this type of theory about concepts, then you see 01:56.000 --> 01:57.500 knowledge as a boat. 01:57.500 --> 02:00.020 We perpetually rebuild as we sail. 02:00.350 --> 02:02.290 So we are out on an open sea. 02:02.600 --> 02:06.340 There are no shores, there are no harbors where we can actually stop and rebuild. 02:06.350 --> 02:15.860 We try to rebuild this all the time and we still out this in this kind of sea of possible knownas acquisition 02:15.860 --> 02:16.640 situations. 02:18.080 --> 02:19.800 But there are problems with this as well. 02:19.820 --> 02:26.630 The problem with this is that if this is the case, then the knowledge is very much unique for me. 02:26.960 --> 02:33.160 And there is very hard to see if we can have any stability about knowledge at all. 02:33.920 --> 02:40.550 So if concepts are theories that are ever evolving in each unique person, how could the two person 02:40.550 --> 02:41.660 share the same concept? 02:43.400 --> 02:50.700 So is there any way to actually communicate or be certain that we have communicated and that the knowledge 02:50.700 --> 02:54.700 to have transferred from the to you or I I made it. 02:55.120 --> 02:58.940 Actually, it's not the knowledge that is transmitting information, of course, that I've gained that 02:58.940 --> 03:01.620 you have gained the knowledge that I that I hoped for. 03:04.550 --> 03:07.490 Do we know we have the same concepts as yesterday? 03:07.940 --> 03:10.070 So I had some knowledge yesterday. 03:10.370 --> 03:16.160 If that is changing all the time, that knowledge will also be something that will be very unstable, 03:16.190 --> 03:17.540 on unstable grounds. 03:17.900 --> 03:21.170 And that might be the case, but it might be a problem for us as well. 03:21.620 --> 03:27.770 So if we take it to the extreme, you see this and you screen its water, because for me, for some 03:27.770 --> 03:29.210 reason, that is water. 03:29.480 --> 03:29.960 Right. 03:29.960 --> 03:36.580 And you can see that there will be a little bit problematic, at least to say maybe in that situation. 03:38.180 --> 03:42.470 So it's the stability problem of the theory theory that is one problem for that. 03:45.630 --> 03:51.750 So that was the third theory, as I said, we are now going to have a lecture on both going to mention 03:51.750 --> 03:56.940 the fourth theory and then we're going to do a wrap up all those four theories and see if we can try 03:56.940 --> 04:02.250 to combine them in some way, maybe to overcome the problems I get to, you know.
