1. State the difference between Rationalism, Empiricism, Transcendental Idealism, and Skepticism?
2. Which of these general theories of Epistemology seem to make the most sense to you? Why?
3. What do the correspondence, coherence, pragmatic, redundancy, and semantic theories say abut the nature of truth?
4. Which theory do you think closest to understanding the nature of truth? Why?
