Rationalism

Rationalism argues that knowledge isn't gained through experience but through innate ideas or logical reasoning. This idea influences the creation of foundationalism, intuitionism, and trancendental idealism.

Simple Justification:

Proposition 1: We're born with some knowledge already in our minds.

Proposition 2: We can figure out more by using our brains to think things through, not just by experiencing them.

Conclusion: Rationalism makes sense because it shows that our thinking and innate ideas are important for learning, not just what we see or feel.
