Rationalism vs Empiricism

The debate between rationalism and empiricism is that how independently we are with knowledge. Rationalism think we have some of our ideas but then most comes after more experience, when empiricism think  all of the ideas originate from experience.  I feel that rationalism is more  agreeable because we learn from experiences and most ideas come from past experience.  An idea that the rationalism thought that we had is prior knowledge.  To think that when we are born, we are born with some kind of knowledge of what is going on in the world.

    

    Explanatory breath:  Rationalism has more of an explanatory breadth than empiricism because most of our ideas come from experience. For example, people do not just wake up one day and say I’m going to be a millionaire by doing nothing, they have to face experience to gather new ideas from that experience to create something bigger and better.  You can great an idea from another idea but that doesn’t come from your own experience. You can’t really take another persons idea and turn it into yours.  Empiricism can’t really explain better than rationalism, because empiricism is basically our imagination, we jut think of things, but we don’t really experience them. 

  Explanatory Depth :  Empiricism has more depth that rationalism, of where and how experience is learned.  Rationalism states that you are born with knowledge with some ideas innate.  For example when you were a child , you had  don’t now anything or know that anything is bad , so when you do something, you can process what just happened, to now not to do it again.

   Simplicity : Rationalism provides more simplicity than empiricism, because rationalism believes that when we are born we have some knowledge, but how do they know that even born child has knowledge.  But empiricism believes everything is learned from experience, which in some cases it is but in others we just now because it is common sense.  When we are born we save memory that are innate.

  Conservatism : Empiricism is more consistent with out theory because we do learn from experience. For example Steve Job was denied multiplied times before making Mac , michael Jordan was also denied; they learned from their mistakes to make a new ideas come true. It would have never happened, if their past experience didn’t make them better thinkers.

Rationalism and Empiricism are most plausible explanation of where our ideas come from.

 Rationalism has much more explanatory depth and simplicity , wheares Empiricism

   has more explanatory depth.

Therefore, Rationalism is the best explanation of  where our ideas come from.
