Definition of knowledge
- Knowledge is the set of information, skills, and mental processes an individual acquires throughout life.
- It involves not only accumulating data, but also understanding and being able to apply information in different contexts.
Elements of knowledge (core components)
- Subject (knowing subject)
- The person or entity that performs the cognitive operation (the one who knows).
- Object
- What is known (or sought to be known); the content of knowledge (concepts, facts, or learnable things).
- Representation
- How the subject perceives and conceptualizes the object (mental images, symbols, or other representational forms).
- Cognitive operation
- The mental processes used by the subject to know the object, such as perception, memory, reasoning, and other enabling processes.
Classification of knowledge (types mentioned)
- Empirical knowledge
- Obtained through experience and observation.
- Based on direct interaction with the environment.
- Rational knowledge
- Acquired through mental processes like deduction and induction.
- Important in philosophy and mathematics.
- Scientific knowledge
- Systematic and verifiable knowledge obtained via the scientific method.
- Aims to explain phenomena objectively and precisely.
- Technical knowledge

- Practical; gained through training and experience.
- Philosophical knowledge

Characteristics of knowledge (how knowledge behaves)
- Continuous process, not a fixed state

- Cultural and social influence
- Influenced by biological, psychological, and social variables.
- Expressed and transmitted through language
- Requires communication codes.
- Helps guide human thought, behavior, and decision-making.
