Hot Vs Cold, Right Vs Wrong?
Sorry I gave a bad example from information I heard a long itme ago. ‘The degree of hot and cold is based on sensory perception which could be affected by various factors. But are there any humans who are unaware of the concept of heat?’ If I say The degree of cleanliness and morality is based on evolution and society which could be affected by various factors. But are there any humans who are unaware of the concept of cleanliness and morality? What is the differences between the subjectivity of (heat and cold) and (cleanliness and morality)
I think you’re not being able to appreciate the point that I have been trying to drive across in my responses to your various questions about fitrah. The point is that the existence and application of any knowledge are two different things. When we say fitrah, we’re talking about existence of certain ingrained information that all humans naturally have at birth. It is not acquired through experience, and experience can’t change it. Once we have this information, the next phase is that of application. Depending on the circumstances and other human experience, the application can vary. Liking cleanliness is a-priori – it’s universal and it’s not time bound. How much cleanliness is enough after we use the restroom is the application of such information, and it can vary in time and space.
Ahmed we can’t base any knowledge and subsequently our actions on ideas like “doesn’t mean it’s not true” and “doesn’t mean it’s true”. All we have is empirical evidence (both inside and outside of ourselves), intellect that helps us with inductive reasoning, as well as established history that we can’t deny. Everything else is a delusion. What one chooses to base their worldview on is completely up to them.
