4 Ways of Knowing

Sense Perception:
Distinguishing truth based on the five human senses. This is a way of knowing because of the experiential manner in which it allows a person to understand an event or statement to be true.

Language:
Text or spoken words used to communicate amongst each other or to process our own thoughts. This is a way of knowing because it is how people define the things they know.

Reason:
Explaining what you know or solving problems through rationalizing based on what you believe to be true. This is a way of knowing because it is important to understand what you believe and how you can convince your self of such things before you can know something.

Emotion:
Human feelings. This is a way of knowing because if one didn't feel anything for anything, there would be no incentive to acquire knowledge.
