ways of Knowing

Sense Perception
-it is a way of knowing, using sensory perception. and it is also a very basic and primitive way of knowing, which allows a person to develop his knowing. to know something, one needs to know who he is and how he is different from the surroundings, otherwise, he wouldn't know the fact that he knows or distinguishes something. therefore this way lets one know by perceiving the surroundings.

Language
-it is an advanced way of knowing, using expressing himself. If he perceives the surroundings, that means he knows the surroundings. however, knowing doesn't end at the stage of just perceiving. expressing the knowledge with a languages allows him to regenerate what he has, and ultimately the knowledge becomes agreed upon, which makes it more general knowing. therefore this way lets one confirm knowledge with others, which makes the knowledge solid.

Emotion
-it is a motivative factor that makes people active about knowing. without emotion, knowing wouldn't be necessary.

Reason
-it is a method of knowing better with not only perception but also intelligence. one uses knowledge gathered by perception, improved by communication and motivated by emotion to deduce more than what is known without need of unnecessary further perception.
