If I had to choose between rationalism and empiricism,i woul not choose any, because I think that both are part of our daily lives. When we speak of rationalism, we talk about using our reason, reason about what happens to us, and draw a conclusion, and if we speak of empiricism we talk about reaching a conclusion of through expiriences. With the two come to an understanding about something. The point is that when we have a problem, we always want to fix it as best as possible. But sometimes if we use reason, this will take us to a solution that would be the best, but perhaps not correct, or might be otherwise. If I had to defend these philosophical thoughts, I would say that rationalism argue that sometimes our senses can fail, can deceive us, and we can fall. Our senses sometimes deceive us, for example if we hear something soon we think the worst, and it turns out, it was nothing, but while we drew those conclusions and we think and we made our own movie. And if I defend the empiricism, I would do it because sometimes we learn more from our experiences, if we make a mistake, which we have committed, we analize it, and as we learned not to commit back.
To my thinking I could not put to the side of one, I think that in my life I use these two ways of philosophy.
