ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses The Meaning of Knowledge; Explicit and Implicit Knowledge; Individual and General Knowledge; Intuitive Elements in Knowledge; Elements of Intellectual Construction; Elements of Faith; General Structure of the World as Known; Limits of Reasonable Doubt; Absolute Knowledge and Knowledge of the Absolute; Idealism and Realism; Pluralism and Cosmism. Knowledge may be defined as correct belief, together with the apprehension of its ground. It is customary to use the word Cognition, especially in Psychology, in a much wider sense than this; and it is then necessary to distinguish various stages in its development, especially sensation, perception, imagination, conception. It is evident that many of our beliefs are based on the information derived through our senses. Scepticism, in its most extreme form, is the denial or doubt of the possibility of any absolute knowledge; while Agnosticism, in its most definite sense, is the denial or doubt of the possibility of any knowledge of the Absolute.
