Everything Hidden :: Knowledge Papers

Everything HiddenQuestions that seem to consent moreover one answer Things clandestine kindle be cognise by following clues. We know in practice how this is done and I submit explained in some detail what goes on in this rather tangled still interesting process (see for pillowcase Essay 2). tho what to the highest degree things non clandestine. Can things not hidden be known?My scruple here is not how things not hidden can be known, besides merely whether they can be known. If I ask how things not hidden can be known I will receive diferent answers. For example some wil say things not hidden argon known by the senses. The senses reveal to us what these things are thats why they are not hidden. But others will say no the senses do not reveal they hide, they deceive. The pass reveals the mind lets us know what the real things are things that are not hidden are known directly by the mind. There are many a(prenominal) answers to the foreland how things not hidden ca n be known, but this is not the irresolution I am asking. The dubiety I am asking is whether things not hidden can be known. With the question how things not hidden can be known on that point are many answers. But it is diferent with the question whether things not hidden can be known. With this question there seems to be except one answer. Things not hidden, of course they can be knownthis I think is what most people wil say. They may not agree among themselves how things not hidden can be known but they wil agree things not hidden can be known. If things not hidden cannot be known what can be known? To the question whether things not hidden can be known there is only one answer. Or so it seems.There is another question which seems to have only one answer Is there anything not hidden? To this question the only answer seems to be of course there are things not hidden. We may disagree as to what these things are and how they are known, but it seems there must be some things that are not hidden. It is not achievable that there is nothing not hidden. If there is nothing not hidden it means everything is hidden. How is it possible that everything is hidden? If everything is hidden how can we know anything?
