Deliberate knowledge
pp. 3-12
Abstract
Human beings habitually have knowledge of a great variety of things. How can we describe the situation in which knowledge takes place? Knowledge cannot be defined since the definition itself constitutes knowledge, but it may perhaps be possible to characterize the situation in which it occurs. Knowledge involves a recognition of distinctions ultimately derived from sensation or conception or a combination of the two united by the apperceptive activity of the mind.
