My Blog

 About the Blog

I write this blog to detail out the subjects and topics that I teach and I researched on at the University, so that students could better understand the topics that they learn. Of course, the readers are not confined to students only, but include all people from different walks of life that may find the topic interesting and wants to learn more.



The topics that I plan to write include: -
  • General Philosophy
  • Knowledge Management
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Business Analytics
  • Financial Technology
  • Digital Entrepreneurship
and I might include other topics that I have been involved professionally like banking, auditing et cetera.

I also maintain another blog at http://alshaharudin.com/ where I write more general topics based on my learning and experiences.

I hope my readers will gain benefit from what I write.

Knowledge (Part II)

Continued from Knowledge (Part I)  Knowledge is the gathered understanding or awareness derived from accumulation of information, facts, concepts or skills by means of learning and experience. It provides us with the ability to utilise information and skills for making decisions, solving problems and also understanding the world. Besides of what was revealed in the Holy Quran about knowledge ( in Part 1 ), early Western philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes and many more have defined knowledge in their own terms. Socrates was  born circa 470 BCE in Athens and died  399  BCE. He had a unique perspective on knowledge. Despite being credited as the founder of Western philosophy, Socrates had written nothing and all information about him was gained second-hand. His thoughts were obtained through dialogues with his pupils. Socrates had emphasised on knowledge all his life.  He believed that true knowledge could only be obtained through a pr...

Knowledge is Justified True Belief

The Tripartite Analysis of Knowledge The tripartite analysis of knowledge has been held by many philosophers throughout history and its origin can be traced all the way back to Plato's discussion of a tripartite analysis of knowledge in the  Theaetetus .  There are three components to the traditional analysis of knowledge; i.e, the truth condition, the belief condition and the justification condition. Let's go through them one by one: - The Truth Condition According to the tripartite analysis of knowledge, a person S can only know the subject of a proposition p if and only if the proposition p is true . Nonetheless, sometimes what is false cannot be known, and s omething’s truth does not require that anyone can know or prove that it is true.  Not all truths are  established  truths. If you flip a coin and never check how it landed, it may be true that it landed heads, even if nobody has any way to tell.  Truth is a  metaphysical , as opposed to...

Knowledge (Part IV)

Continued from Knowledge (Part III) Another philosopher, René Descartes ( 1596-1650), had a distinctive perspective on knowledge. He believed that knowledge was a matter of certainty, and that the only way to achieve such certainty was through rational inquiry and doubt. Rene Descartes Cogito, ergo sum Descartes is a rationalist philosopher. He was known for his method of radical doubt, which involved questioning everything he knew in order to arrive at a foundation of knowledge that could not be doubted. He believed that all knowledge should be based on indubitable, self-evident truths, or what he called "clear and distinct" ideas. In other words, knowledge had to be based on ideas that were so clear and distinct that they could not be doubted. Descartes believed that the human mind was capable of arriving at such knowledge through the use of reason alone, independent of sensory experience. He argued that this was possible because the human mind had an innate knowledge of ...
