Common or Practical Knowledge: Also known as vulgar or everyday knowledge, it is inherited culturally, transmitted informally across generations, and applied to solve daily problems without systematic methods. Example: Belief that singing to cows increases milk production.
Scientific Knowledge: Systematic, method-driven understanding obtained through observation, experimentation, and reflection. It aims to explain phenomena with verified, generalizable, and probable truths. Example: The Big Bang theory.
Knowledge as a Relationship: The process involving a subject (knower) perceiving and understanding an object (phenomenon), forming internal representations that are processed and systematized into knowledge.
Characteristics of Science: Traits that define scientific inquiry, including rationality, objectivity, generality, systematization, analysis, clarity, precision, cumulative nature, verifiability, empiricism, and truthfulness.
