For the discussion post, discuss TWO topics:
The first topic:
Write a SINGLE-SENTENCE example of each of the four types of knowledge as they directly describe something in your life you believe to be true. Number them 1-4.
For example: “___ is true based on intuitive knowledge.” (or) “We all believe _________ to be true based on _______ knowledge.”
Be creative; use challenging ideas.
The second topic:
After the first one, cut and paste your 1-4 into a new post and defend your reasoning for each:
For Intuitive, describe why it’s obvious to you
For Authoritative, define why the source is an authority in your life
For Logical, give the reasoning you went through
For Empirical, explain the process of proving it
Be sure to use in-text citation and provide references for your sources, including textbooks.
