AOKs

plays an important role in perspective

doesn't really make a
difference in the pursuit of
knowledge (counter-claim)
Mathematics
Counter-arguements
Example: In History, the knower's
perspective is not important because
events that took place in the past
(facts) cannot be changed depending
on different perspectives
In Mathematics (personal
experience) perspective is not
essential either as everyone
perceives the calculations in
the same way regardless of
their different ways of thinking.
However, there can be
different methods of solving
problems and different people
find different methods easier.
Example: Euler's formula
Arguements
In the arts, for instance in
poetry (literature) , each
person perceives the poem
in a different way. Example:
English (literature)
Use modern art to show how
people of different ages
perceive it, i.e., generation gap -
Jackson Pollock, Number 31
personal knowledge and shared knowledge
(personal knowledge is shaped by shared)
E.g. FIFA World Cup, Ethiopia Trip
Other knowledge issues
How reliable is perspective

To what extent can the knower decide
