Romantic love is a very weird thing. Come on, be honest, falling in love means giving up half of what you’ve got. Falling in love also creates this feeling that the world is a bed of roses—how much more unrealistic can it get? But no, we learn in epistemology that feelings may be sufficient evidence to prove the existence of love as a valid and logical concept.
Take for instance a hypothetical individual, Jane. Jane’s feelings for James (Jane's hypothetical boyfriend in her hypothetical world) influences the way she carries herself and her behavior toward James. Since the invisible cognitive concept of “feeling” manifests in her visible physical actions, such actions would be empirically sufficient as evidence to knowing Jane does indeed love James.
What has philosophy got to do with service-learning? Lots, since today’s Valentine’s Day (which creates mild cognitive dissonance for lonely souls like me). Besides, isn’t blogging an act of sufficient evidence to suggest that I am doing justice to my feelings for service-learning?
