Well, that lesson finished us off for Knowers and Knowing. Now we get to explore the WoK! Ways of Knowing here we come. Just as a little reminder, our ways of knowing are:
1. Language
2. Sense Perception
3. Reason (Rationality)
4. Emotion
In next Thursday's lesson, we will look at the strengths and weaknesses of each of these ways of knowing and then dive right in to language! So your homework for next Thursday's blog is the following:
Put these statements in rank order of importance and justify your ranking.
1) We cannot carry every object about which we need to communicate.
2) We need to be able to communicate about actions without actually doing them.
3) Abstract ideas which can only be expressed in language are an essential part of human experience.
4) We need to be able to communicate about emotions beyond their mere expression.
Can you think of any other reasons we need language? Write your other reasons below your justification.

We need language at an attempt to express what we sense (5 senses) and think (the cognitive).
ReplyDeleteLanguage, however is subjective and can only come close to describing real sensations/thought. One thought can be thought of differently by another but within the same context which language provides.
