Epistemology-how we gain knowledge

Knowledge-How

Knowledge on how to do something that includes skills, abilities or talents, such as:

"yeah I know how to bake a pumpkin pie"

"Of course I know how to do a backflip"

These examples show a person expressing how they "know" or have the knowledge for doing an activity that may relate to something physical, technical, or academic.

Knowledge-Wh

Knowledge that includes the questions whether, who, why, what and and is also a propositional knowledge, such as:

"I know why its so hot outside today"

"I know who the host on this gameshow is"

these examples show the use of the words "why" and "who" relating to an answer or question that has to do with that persons knowledge.

Where you obtain knowledge should be something you are cautious about because you never know where your sources are coming from and if they are reliable or not. Before you obtain information and think of it as a truth, you have to make sure where you are getting it from whether its a person, website or other source, that it is reliable and that all the facts stated are true. You many want to ask someone where they got that information from and find out yourself before believing it too.

Knowledge-That

Knowledge of a proposition or when the knowledge of truth or fact is present, such as:

If Lily knows that Kate plays sports, she has the knowledge of the proposition that Kate plays sports therefor making it true to Lily.

Josh knows that Mike is going camping this weekend, he has the knowledge of the proposition that Mike is going camping therefr making it true to Josh.

These examples represent a person "knowing" or having knowledge about a fact related to another person. They would know this because of something that person has told them directly, therefor making it a true statement.

Knowledge by Acquaintance

Something that is obtained by acquaintance with a person, place or thing through a perceptual experience, such as:

"I know mike"

"I know of the town Markdale"

These examples represent somebody "knowing" or having the knowledge of something that they would have received out of a personal experience or an acquaintance.
