Q. 1 Explain briefly each source of
knowledge and discuss which source is most important and why?
What is Knowledge?
For
their healthy existence, the human body needs nutritious food. For its healthy
and bright
functioning, human mind also needs nutritious food. Therefore
knowledge is regarded as the nourishment of mind. The definition of knowledge
is a continuous discussion among epistemologist philosophers. The true faith is
justified according to Plato's knowledge. Knowledge can be defined as a
knowledge or an awareness of someone or anything that is acquired through
experiences or education by perception, discovery or learning such as facts,
information, descriptions or skills. New data obtained by an agency by formal,
informal or non-formal means of investigation may be described as knowledge.
Knowledge enhances the strength and confidence of people in their work. The
research activity builds new knowledge, theory or generalization.
Ways/Source of Acquiring Knowledge
The
main motivating factor for looking for new knowledge is curious to know more
about new things. If the person has an imbalance with respect to any content,
he / she begins to find a valid conclusion on the question of doubt. The
clarification process leads them to balance in their knowledge. The following
are ways to accumulate new knowledge for the purpose of receiving new
information.
Sensory Perception
Senses
are ways of understanding. Five senses help a person to receive primary
information about any object, person or event, etc. For instance, students can
see the teacher experiment, hear the explanation, touch the item or product,
smell the product, taste the product, etc. Through these five events (five
sense organs) or one activity (single sense organ), students can build and
verify the experiment's information. Sensory perceptions are therefore the only
important source or instrument for knowledge acquisition. If a researcher is
involved, the sensory perception is important to him to collect information and
check that the acquired knowledge is authentic and original..........................................................................................................................................
