Well wonderful. Wonderful indeed....
And I bet Roscoe might just agree, too.
Do you think it would be useful to draw distinctions between and “knowing” and “understanding?”
Yes indeedey I think it would be good. But also, if you define "knowing" as conceptually verifyable knowing, please let's say that's but one definition. As for understanding, that deserves volumes....
And btw cornelis, very good use of language (and thinking through language albeit not thinking "in" language) and quite a use of thinking through jargon, as well. ;-`
It seems to me that knowing is something pre-conceptual, independent of symbolization. Perhaps at bottom knowing has more to do with heart than with mind.
