- 4. Alternate perspectives – Western – Rational (Plato, Descartes) – Knowledge is the result of an ideal mental model (as in mathematics) – Experimental (Aristotle, Locke) – Knowledge is deducted from what we experience with our senses – Favour objective and “true” knowledge – ie. explicit – Can “true” knowledge exist? 4
- 5. Alternate perspectives – Eastern – Unity of mankind and nature – Experience is dominant not theorization : an individual in its environment – This is translated in the language – Unity of body and soul – Emotions, perceptions of the environment are central to knowledge – Wisdom derives from the entire personality – Unity of myself and the other – Importance of the collective – Favour subjective and “contextual” knowledge and hence tacit knowledge 5
