KNOWLEDGE

Process that takes place in every human being, in this are linked the
subject that knows and the known object. Process that is in constant
movement.
The types of knowledge.
First of all, we have to remember that human beings use various
forms of knowledge, where each of them fulfills a function and us
to give meaning to the things in our lives.

Intuitive knowledge

Also called common knowledge. It is the knowledge that we use in


our daily life and allows us to access the world around us, in a way
immediate through experience, ordering in particular facts, that is,
trying to relate it to some event or experience we have lived and that
relate it to what we are appreciating.

It allows us to solve problems, react to stimuli, new obstacles and


unprecedented situations.

It is knowledge that is acquired without the need to employ an analysis or a


previous reasoning.

Some examples of this type of knowledge:

Knowing when a person is happy.


2. Knowing when a person is sad.
3. In general, knowing when a person shows various moods
(solitude, nervousness, crying, happiness, liking, disdain, need for
love, etc.
4. The seasons of the year.

Religious knowledge

It is that which allows us to feel trust, certainty, or faith regarding something that
it cannot be verified.

It is based on a type of belief that cannot be proven in a real way, but


allows for the execution of certain actions.

Thanks to this knowledge, many people feel confident to act and


relate to others.

The following can be mentioned as examples:


The beginning of life with Adam and Eve
Religiously, Jesus Christ is a being who was sent by the Holy Spirit to
the earth; philosophically it is a human being who was very humble and wise.
3. God created the universe in 7 days. Basically believing in what the Bible says.
4. The rituals that are present in various cultures and take into account a
I am beyond everything.

3. Empirical knowledge

Empirical knowledge refers to the knowledge that is acquired through


experience, perception, repetition or research. This type of knowledge is interested
for what exists and happens, it is not interested in the abstract.

It is the experience one has of the natural environment, produced through our
senses and the way in which reality is perceived.

The following examples would correspond to this type of knowledge:

Learn to write.
2. Knowledge of languages is only possible if they are practiced in a manner
writing and also if you can hear people talking.
3. Recognize the color of things. It is through experience and
unconscious learning that our parents have instilled in us.
4. Learning to walk or ride a bicycle, drive a vehicle, etc.

4. Philosophical knowledge

Throughout the history of humanity, the need to know what is the


man, the world, the origin of life and knowing where we are headed has been
a great concern. The answers have been accumulating and many have arisen
more questions.

It is that pure reasoning that has not gone through a process of praxis or
methodological experimentation to prove it as true.

A couple of examples:

We are all philosophers at some point in our lives, in a certain


moment, from writing a love letter, a song; to a long
review of what life is.
Philosophical thinking is not limited to opinions or arguments.
provable or subjected to a methodological analysis.
5. Scientific knowledge

It is supported by an assumption and its verification, which followed a rigorous method.


and that their conclusions are objective, that is, irrespective of will
the subjectivity of the people participating in the research process.

Scientific knowledge is supported by research, analyzing, searching for a


feasible explanation, to recognize and traverse a path to reach long
conclusions.

Examples:

1. Observe a phenomenon in detail, generate a theory, and seek a


explanation through an analysis. Test that theory and verify
the results.
The earth revolves around the sun
3. Antibiotics effectively attack diseases

rational or irrationally
5. ACCORDING TO JOSE MARIA SANCHEZ CARRION:
Knowledge is a set of information stored through the
experience or
learning (a posteriori), or through introspection (a priori)”. In the sense
broader term, it refers to the possession of multiple data
interrelated that, when taken alone, have a lower value
qualitative.
6. ACCORDING TO IVNACIA PAVES:
General knowledge is the experience and knowledge acquired by a
person through experience or education; theoretical or practical understanding
on a topic in what is known in a particular field or in the totals of the
facts and the information or the awareness or the familiarity, acquired by the
experience of a fact or situation.

put them into practice within a work environment.
While Aristotle expressed that knowledge was an inherent possession
from the truth, an understanding of reality without having learned from it by
through sensory experience this means that Plato took the
knowledge as something that would lead humans to the reality of things
although these have not left him any kind of experience in which he could
use appropriate tools to put them into practice within an environment
of work. In contrast, Bruner places more emphasis on knowledge about the
