Occams Razor

Recently, we have developed a knowledge and understanding in Theory of Knowledge of the idea of Occams razor.

It all relates to our work on perception.

Occams razor is a concept, which can best be summed up by the following.

One is standing in an a field, and behind you here a whinney, or a neigh. You'd turn, assuming to find a horse. In fact there is a Zebra.

This a completely rational assertion, because from experience, the most likely thing to be found in a field making a similar sort of noise, is a Horse. Our experience would suggest to us that a Horse making the noise is the most acceptable and rational explaination.

This is the idea of occams razor. That we assume the most likely, or rational outcome, for something that we havent percieved yet.
