Introduction
[edit]This page is an introduction to Sardanis, by himself.
History
[edit]I grew up in Coshocton, Ohio, but now reside in Columbus, Ohio, where I am an undergraduate philosophy major at Capital University.
Thought
[edit]Hereafter is basically what I think, and sometimes why. This is necessarily is a work in progress, as thinking is a process.
Knowledge and Understanding
[edit]The main distinction to make in the realm of "knowing" is that between Knowledge and Understanding. Knowledge is what is known based in language, and only captures dimensions (one at a time in its most basic assertions) of its object that are shared or common. Understanding is what is known as a system of relations, dimensions, causes, etc. and is adapted to every new situation as more information is given to the system. Understanding is alive in the mind. The application of understanding is a kind of conversation between general principles and particular situations (the universal and the unique), while understanding itself is an idealogy. Both Knowledge and Understanding are limited to the phenomenal world, as the noumenal is ultimately unknowable by a mind with limits.
