Think from the Spleen

Thank you for your thoughtful considerations of ways of knowing.  I though we made great headway in our work to understand faith in particular and feel poised to do likewise with instinct.  In the mean time, would you please use your next post to investigate intuition?  Begin by writing a working definition, then determine whether it is a discrete way of knowing or a combination of others.  Explain your justifications for your decision.  Finally, detail the ways of knowing you employed to arrive at your conclusions.  I have absolute faith that you can do this. Prove me right by Thursday morning.

Stretch the Net, Tighten Your Grasp

As you continue to hone your Knowledge Question composition skills, let's search farther afield for their sources.  For Tuesday morning (30 April), please find a moment of knowledge that you do not yet fully comprehend.  You needn't limit yourself to instances of rational, academic confusion; if emotion is a way of knowing, mustn't it also be a way of not yet knowing?  In working, then, to understand this knowledge moment, work also to understand the nature of its components.  In so doing, relate that moment of newly acquired knowledge (with which you may still be wrestling) to another in a different area of knowledge.  Then, you guessed it, document the entire process in a post that culminates in a Knowledge Question.  Remember in your documentation to consider the ways the process was shaped by your role as the unique knower.

Hello KQ my old friend...

Today I'd like you to go on a hunt for thinky awesomeness.  Please follow the links below--one is an old friend and two are shiny new toys--and see what you can find, create, assemble, or compute.  Ultimately, please choose a direction on one site, link to or describe how you got there, and extract a knowledge question from that virtual moment.  Please write this post by Tuesday morning at 8.
Here are the links:
