"例えば、経験はほとんどの人に結論を導くように思えるが、経験主義は決してそれを導き出さないことを誓っている。"
— George Santayana
Simplified Meaning:
People often think that going through different experiences will help them make decisions or form conclusions. For example, if you keep touching a hot stove and burning your hand, you might conclude that touching a stove when it’s on is always a bad idea. However, empiricism—the idea of learning through observation and experiments—avoids jumping to conclusions based on just a few experiences. It insists on careful and repeated testing before deciding something is true. In daily life, this means not assuming something will always happen a certain way just because it happened once or twice. Instead, you should gather more evidence and look deeper before making up your mind. This careful approach can help you avoid mistakes and make better decisions.
