The knowledge or power to smell, is a knowledge no one teaches how to, but it is in all nations. (Remember: A nation is an individual or a person with a language, a culture and a history). It is a knowledge exhibited by human race, thus, it is a common knowing-how knowledge.
KNOWLEDGE TO TASTE: Knowledge or power to taste is a Common knowing-how Knowledge in nations. Each and every individual has choices or taste about things.

The need of something will lead to the arrival of an idea; the arrival of an idea into a nation is dependent of the knowledge in the nation. Knowledge is the source of all ideas, without knowledge there cannot be an idea. Every idea in any nation has it resting place on the knowledge in the nation. Ideas does not grow above the complete knowledge in a nation on which it rest on. When a need arises, ideas arrive a nation from different set of knowledge in a nation. When a need arises, ideas arrive a nation from unique set of Knowledge, Common set of knowledge and other possible sets of knowledge in nations. The usefulness or meaningfulness of an idea to other nations depend on the set of knowledge the idea arrive from to a nation.
An idea will be useful or meaningful to others, if the idea arrive from common set of knowledge. Anyone can buy the idea and work out the idea perfectly.
Perhaps the most ubiquitous quality shared between humans is the capacity to know. The English language seems stark and stale when considering a definition for the word itself that encompasses the various feelings that can be summoned in knowing something. John Farella examines the inequality that exists in the relationship between the West...
Ideas are either innate (inborn or known from one's own nature), adventitious (come from outside me) or made by me.
What is knowledge? Knowledge, according to the Oxford Dictionary, is facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. Knowledge is also known to be “true, justified belief; certain understanding, as opposed to opinion”. Knowledge can be objective, but can also be relative. Knowledge can be objective meaning it is free of any bias or prejudice caused by personal feelings or beliefs. Knowledge can be relative meaning that a term, thing, or concept that is dependent on something else. But then again, which is correct; this argument came up in Protagoras’ claim. Protagoras claimed that man is the measure of all things. In this paper I will argue that Protagoras’ claim is true.
Knowledge is defined as information and skills one acquires through experience or education. There is; however, a certain knowledge than cannot be certain and is unjustifiable from the scientific perspective. Karen Armstrong, Robert Thurman, and Azar Nafisi wrote about this type of knowledge in their essays: “Homo Religiosus,” “Wisdom,” and “Reading Lolita in Tehran,” respectively. Each of these authors has a different view of what knowledge is exactly, how it can be achieved, and what it means to have achieved it, but each author takes on the view that the concept of knowledge should be viewed from a social stance. Armstrong refers to this uncertain knowledge as “myth,” Thurman refers to it as “wisdom,” and Nafisi refers to it as “upsilamba";
Common knowledge is a great thing to have. Even though we speak different languages in the world, we can all still relate to the feelings that are brought out in Shakespeare's plays. Knowledge is something that almost everyone craves, and the more that everyone knows about a subject, the more questions are raised about it and more
By definition, knowledge is the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association (Merriam-Webster.com). In the novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley considers knowledge as a “dangerous” factor. The danger of it is proved throughout the actions of the characters Robert Walton, Victor Frankenstein, and the creature. The characters all embody the theme of knowledge in different ways. Shelley supports her opinion on knowledge by using references from the Bible and Paradise Lost.
Knowledge is something that can change day to day, which can be learned through both the natural and human sciences. Knowledge changes in the natural sciences when an experiment is conducted and more data has been gathered. Knowledge changes in human sciences when patterns are recognized in society and further tests have been conducted. Does our knowledge of things in the natural and human sciences change every day? I think that our knowledge grows everyday but does not necessarily change every day. The areas of knowledge that will be discussed in this essay are natural and human sciences. In History we can see that at one point something that was considered knowledge then transformed into different knowledge, especially in the natural sciences. However, in the past, due to lack of technology, it might have been more of a lack of knowledge that then turned into knowledge on the topic.
Knowledge is defined as facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. In Mikhail Zinshteyn study called the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies Mikhail came to conclusion that a college degree confers core knowledge and adults without degrees are less likely

How do we obtain our knowledge? Do we use our senses of touch, taste, hearing, smell and sight? This is a basic philosophical question that has been asked and elaborated upon by philosophers. Plato and Aristotle have formed their own opinions upon whether or not the senses can be trusted. In order to understand their ideas on the senses, first their philosophy on the connection between the soul and body must be examined. Plato states that the body and soul are separate, while Aristotle says they are one. Concerning the senses, Plato says they cannot be trusted and knowledge cannot be gained through them. Aristotle creates an opposing view, saying that the senses are essential to gaining knowledge and learning about the world.
Question No. 5 “No knowledge can be produced by a single way of knowing.” Discuss.
Indigenous Knowledge (IK) can be broadly defined as the knowledge and skills that an indigenous (local) community accumulates over generations of living in a particular environment. IK is unique to given cultures, localities and societies and is acquired through daily experience. It is embedded in community practices, institutions, relationships and rituals. Because IK is based on, and is deeply embedded in local experience and historic reality, it is therefore unique to that specific culture; it also plays an important role in defining the identity of the community. Similarly, since IK has developed over the centuries of experimentation on how to adapt to local conditions. That is Indigenous ways of knowing informs their ways of being. Accordingly IK is integrated and driven from multiple sources; traditional teachings, empirical observations and revelations handed down generations. Under IK, language, gestures and cultural codes are in harmony. Similarly, language, symbols and family structure are interrelated. For example, First Nation had a
For example, in the modern society, everyone has access to various time showing devices. In prevailing number of situations somebody who wants to find out the current time will simply look at their watch, whether it is digital, or a hand-watch or a clock on the wall. Modern people have no need to learn other ways to determine the time, so we do not learn. However, what if a person gets lost in the forest with no watch and nobody to ask? The skill of determining the time by looking at the sun and shadows would suddenly become highly useful, but the person does not have the sufficient knowledge for that, whereas, somebody living in an indigenous community in the forest will easily be able to estimate the time at that very moment. The knowledge that various indigenous nations possess is entirely different from what we know because they use a different approach to knowledge. ‘Indigenous knowledge representative are more unique, considering even the variety of their languages’ (www.theoryofknowledge.net). Similarly, as long as their religion is meaningful to an individual knower, it has value, because it allows the knower to view the world differently. Therefore, even the knowledge that is not applied in the everyday lives of the majority of people still can be highly valuable and the amount of
...elieve knowledge is extremely important as it also plays an enormous role in imagination. Without knowledge being shared, brilliant minds would not able to improve upon current situations. If Bill Gates had no knowledge in computing, knowledge that he acquired from other people through education, he would not have developed the Microsoft computer. The knowledge acquired from other sources fed his mind into imagining and developing the Microsoft computer.
Knowledge allows you to prove your facts. It’s the awareness one has about things. Imaginations, at times, can be uncertain. Knowledge leads us to imagination. We can imagine, only if we know. Knowledge is through your hard work and experience. One should not compare two different poles together.
