Study Notes
Contrasting Ways of Knowing
- Tao Te Ching: Knowledge is intuitive, simple, and connected to the natural world (Tao). It emphasizes harmony and non-action (wu wei).
- Sappho: Knowledge is emotional, focused on love, desire, and personal relationships. It's subjective and deeply personal.
- Montaigne: Knowledge is gained through self-reflection, personal experience, and skepticism. It's a questioning of societal norms and assumptions.
- Kimmerer (TEK): Knowledge comes from a deep relationship with nature and the environment, emphasizing interconnectedness and reciprocity. Values storytelling and oral traditions.
- Science: Knowledge is obtained through empirical observation, rationality, and systematic investigation. It values objectivity and detachment.
- Wordsworth: Knowledge is found in nature and emotion, where nature is a source of spiritual insight and deeper truths. It is a connection to something beyond the self.
- Book of Job: Knowledge comes through suffering, humility, and divine encounter. It highlights the limitations of human understanding in the face of divine wisdom.
Differences and Parallels
- Contrast: Science's objectivity stands out against the subjective viewpoints of Sappho's poetry and Wordsworth's emotional nature, and Job's spiritual transformation.
- Parallel: Common themes of searching for truth and seeking understanding. Many methods, like Taoism, TEK, Wordsworth's poetry and Sappho's, underscore the connection between people and the world or divine. The importance of personal experience is also a common thread.
