Although you do not know what the definitions of the "ways of knowing" the four "ways" are given below. For each of the ways of knowing I would like you to answer the questions given. Don't worry if your responses are right or wrong, take an intelligent guess and then we will discuss.
Sense Perception:
- What is it? - Using the 5 senses to describe and understand something.
- Why or how is it a "way of knowing" - you must be able to sense something to know about it. you must be able to touch taste hear see or smell something or observe multiple ones of these to be able to know about it.
Language:
