One can state, without exaggeration, that the observation of and the search for similarities and differences are the basis of all human knowledge.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All our knowledge has its origins in our perceptions.
Human knowledge is never contained in one person. It grows from the relationships we create between each other and the world, and still, it is never complete.
To express the same idea in still another way, I think that human knowledge is essentially active.
Knowledge is what we get when an observer, preferably a scientifically trained observer, provides us with a copy of reality that we can all recognize.
All the different ways we know the world all come from the brain, and they all depend on each other to make sense.
The ability to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained.
Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen, and thinking what nobody has thought.
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.
I think the intuitive processes of discovery are the same, very much the same, in the arts as in the sciences.
All human knowledge takes the form of interpretation.
