    • 2.Sensibility alone provides the particularity and concreteness that differentiates actual knowledge from empty conceptual frameworks.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim confuses psychological origins of knowledge with logical requirements for its validity or determinacy.
