→The phenomenological cage
Deliberation is a process of thoughtfully weighing options before making a decision. Yet in order to choose among the available options, we have to agree on the options available to us, and theןir outcomes. But many times we find ourselves in disagreement about the options or the ways the world behave. These disagreements are the results of differences in our understanding of how the world works. So in order to be able to better understand why we perceive the world differently, I suggest we have to understand how our knowledge is built, and why it is different from person to person. This Page will try to explain how knowledge is built and why we perceive the world differently.
To explain knowledge, I will suggest that knowledge is a thing that is being used to understand, explain, predict and manipulate the inputs that come from the senses.
Till today nobody was able to find a reliable answer to this question. Philosophers sometime suggest that Hillary Putnaham had found a way, but his conclusions say otherwise. He concluded that we cannot distinguish between realty and virtual experience<ref>Putnam, H. (1981): "Brains in a vat" in Reason, Truth, and History, Cambridge University Press; reprinted in DeRose and Warfield, editors (1999): Skepticism: A Contemporary Reader, Oxford UP</ref>.
:“''We do not know the relation between our knowledge and the inner or outer-world''”. Or in Kant's methodology, we cannot know the noumenon.
The only thing we can say is that we percive. How this perception is constructed, I will suggest later own in this paper. as a result of our inability to go beiond our perceptions, I will call this principle '''"The phenomenological cage principle"'''.
