Write a brief example of each of the four types of knowledge as they directly describe something in your life you believe to be true. Number them 1-4. For example:

 

"___ is true based on intuitive knowledge." (or) "We all believe _________ to be true based on _______ knowledge."

Be creative; you're an adult; use challenging ideas.

 

 

1. For Intuitive, describe why it's obvious to you

2. For Authoritative, define why the source is an authority in your life

3. For Logical, give the reasoning you went through

4. For Empirical, explain the process of proving it 

My answer, I hope it serves to you.

Step-by-step explanation

1. For Intuitive, describe why it is obvious to you

It is that knowledge that we use in our daily life and allows us to access the world around us, immediately through experience, ordering in particular facts, that is, trying to relate it to some event or experience that we have lived and relate with what we are appreciating. It allows us to solve problems, react to stimuli, new obstacles and unprecedented situations.

An example of intuitive knowledge is when I discover that my son is not in good spirits. For me it is too evident. I have 12 years living with him, I know him. When he is happy he is open, enthusiastic, expressive, dynamic, he has long conversations with me. When he is discouraged he is very quiet and has trouble communicating.

2. For Authoritarian, define why the source is an authority in your life

It is the type of knowledge from which we draw from a source that we consider truly trustworthy. As an example of authoritarian knowledge I have my friend Néstor Osorio, he is a philosopher, he has guided me for more than forty years in my learning process. I admire him too much, he is the only person I know personally who really knows how to think. So he fully trusted everything he taught me.

3. For Logical, give the reasoning you went through

Logical thinking is the ability of the human being to understand everything that surrounds us and the relationships or differences that exist between actions, objects or observable facts through analysis, comparison, abstraction and imagination.

As an example of logical knowledge, I am going to talk about an opportunity in which I had to solve some equations. I had never done it in my life, I followed the instructions of a video and I started to relate the formulas to the results. Little by little replacing values ??and properly positioning the components of the problem, I finally managed to understand and solve the equations without anyone's help. It was great.

4. For Empirical, explain the process of testing it

Empirical knowledge is acquired through experience.

As an example, the first time I had to prepare a rice. I always wondered how my mother made it so loose. I experimented first by boiling the water, by boiling I added the rice; when it was about to dry, he would lower the way to the stove and cover the rice until it was completely dry. It was good but not loose.

The second time I applied a different formula: I washed the rice grains very well and put them in the sun. Then I fried it in very hot oil for a long time, moving it with a spoon to avoid burning the grains, later I added the appropriate measure of water and let it boil until it was almost dry. Before it was completely dry, I stepped off the burner, covered the rice, and let it dry very well. This time it did work for me and I managed to get the beans loose.
