As humans we are bound by our senses, the only thing we will ever know for certain is that we exist and objectivity can't be obtained from such subjectivity. Heck, Objectivity didn't exist itself until Atlus shrugged and was itself borne from the authors subjectivity. That being, the only thing we know is "I am" ...the very definition of God. hmm. What a game this is, what a game. |
You seem to be addressing the a posteriori aspects of what can be evaluated. You also would appreciate Kant's Transcendental Idealism and his conception of the Noumena.
However you seem to have misunderstood what can be known a priori. For instance, we have some very important logical axioms - laws which allow us to evaluate logical propositions. These are known as follows:
Law of identity - I know that an object is itself.
Law of noncontradiction - I know that an object cannot both be itself and not be itself simultaneously.
Law of the excluded middle term - Either a proposition is true or it is not true, there are no alternative valuations.
I know that square circles are not possible.
I know that in a possible Universe where all objects are green that no red objects exist.
I know that all bachelors are unmarried.
The religious want us to believe that it matters because of some notion of an afterlife rather than because it is actually true. This, in my estimation, is their greatest folly. You'll no doubt have encountered individuals who, when confronted, will fall victim to the dubious contention of Pascal and his wager. It's an admission that their position is not based upon reason and evidence, but based upon a perceived reward / outcome.
