are we entitled to project our notions of cause and effect beyond the range of our possible experience.?

Question

Is this wise?

Answer 1

you might be entitled to the possible but beyond the range of what is possible in experience is imagination so I would assume that you can think whatever you want. As far as cause and effect goes what specific notions are there beyond what can be known? If there are notions unknowable doesn't your question collapse in on itself and thereby become nonsensical?

Answer 2

We use our notions of cause and effect as the basis for science and understanding the world. Through science we attempt to understand how the world works on a microscopic and atomic level and how it works on a galactic and univerisal level -- both levels are in significant ways beyond the range of our experience.

If we take the human intellect seriously, then we are forced to admit that our notions of cause and effect reflect something true about the world. Mind you, our notions of cause and effect are not always correct, and very often incomplete. For this reason we must be cautious in "projecting" our notion in order to understand the world.

Answer 3

That is science in a nut-shell. It's called deductive reasoning. Another, equally valid method of reasoning is called Inductive. It assumes an effect, and extrapolates backwards, to the cause. An example of this is End Times Theology. Assume that the world is going to end someday, and try to reason backwards, to discover when, and why.

In general though, wisdom comes from God, through experience. Don't confuse knowledge, with wisdom.

Eris, the biggest dwarf planet customary, grew to become into chanced on in an ongoing survey at Palomar Observatory's Samuel Oschin telescope by employing astronomers Mike Brown (Caltech), Chad Trujillo (Gemini Observatory), and David Rabinowitz (Yale college). We formally stated the call on 6 September 2006, and it grew to become into widespread and introduced on thirteen September 2006.

Answer 5

Speculation is what the history books are made of. If an experience was never sought. there would be no Events. As far as projecting them on others . No. Like Monkey See Monkey Do.

Answer 6

You are entitled to do as you please. Only your fears are holding you back. If scientists throughout the centuries hadn't projected their notions of cause and effect, and held themselves back due to their fears, what do you think the world would be like today?

Answer 7

that would be called "just guessing". how could you possibly know the outcome of cause and effect if you have not lived the experience already. and who is even to say the effect would be the same result each time. think about it.

Answer 8

Yes.

We do it all the time.
Some call it imagination. Some call it soulsearching. Some call it philosophy. Some call it God.

Wise? If you don't you are stuck in a never changing life (personally and globally). Yes it is wise.

Answer 9

Entitled? Sure, if you'd like. Wise? Probably not.

Answer 10

Then you enter to the region called 'faith'. There you believe things without support of experience and experimentation.
