Different kinds of knowledge

The various kinds of knowledge identified by philosophers include procedural knowledge, personal knowledge, and propositional knowledge.

Procedural Knowledge

Procedural knowledge involves knowing how to do something is developed through the skills and not dependent on declarative knowledge. It covers the skills to know how to act in a given situation.

Conditional knowledge

Contains the procedural and declarative on a theoretical level, influences decision making to know when and why to do something and do the opposite.

Knowledge dissemination

It is transmitted through a printed or audiovisual media; you can be original and first hand to be subjected to rational criticism, described as his contribution to science. Alternatively, it may be popular when disclosure has undergone changes and has some level of scientific knowledge.

Sensitive knowledge

It is a form of perception of the mind, which distinguishes a feeling about something and then reflects on that feeling. An idea comes to mind through the senses and revives the memory.

Propositional Knowledge

Propositional knowledge is to have a knowledge about a topic or subject that is reached through research and not personal experience. It is a public, logical and coherent, verifiable knowledge through rules of evidence. It is abstract, conceptual and is based on academic knowledge.

Similarly in demonstrative knowledge conjectures mind about something but immediately decides that an idea is true or false, but by reasoning goes where other ideas to help gain clarity, i.e., to try them.

Ordinary knowledge

It is specialized and part of the experience is intuitive, consists of the opinions generated by common sense. It is an accumulation of information not linked to each other. It's a private experience of everyday life that generates human impressions and has an anthropocentric point of view (the man at the centre of the universe); its objectivity is limited to be related to the perception and action. It is also called natural, vulgar or popular knowledge, and not delves into the causes of the observed events and is usually transmitted by parents or grandparents, acquired by practice.

Functional Knowledge

It relates to the experience and is based on the declarative to put it into practice, is a type of procedural knowledge and conditional, it is flexible, specific, pragmatic and powerful.

For clarity, the intuitive knowledge is what the mind senses, immediately, is right to think about something other ideas without influence this thought. The mind perceives something as true and does not see the need for testing or examination.

Personal Knowledge

Personal knowledge is an insight of a situation or certainty picked up specifically through firsthand experience or ...
