The Department of Philosophy at the College of Arts / University of Basrah organized a panel discussion entitled (Logical and Heart Belief: An Epistemological Approach).
The panel discussion included a study in the statement of heart belief, dismantling its strips, epistemology, explaining the difference and convergence between them and logical belief in terms of conformity, justification and skepticism, identifying the factors affecting the severity and weakness of this type of attestation and its cognitive value, and trying to find answers about the relationship and process between the two attestations, as other factors intervene, like logical and pragmatic, ideological and psychological goals in determining behavior, thinking and decision-making. From here, the research stands towards evaluating this behavior cognitively, studying it and deconstructing its sayings, and this explains the dialectic of thought and practice and the evidence between them. Also, understanding this dialectic and the relationship between the two attestations explains many of the problems and suspicions of human thought by returning it to its epistemological foundations.
The panel discussion, which was held under the slogan of bridging the gap between thought and practice, aims to explain the reasons for the rupture between logical belief and heart approval and the impact of this on the stages of human behavior, and to develop effective solutions to control human action in accordance with mental requirements.
In the panel discussion, the researcher called for paying attention to the results of the study and its approach in various philosophical systems and patterns because of the place of their impact in the areas of belief, morality, education and others, and researching the practical results of them.
