Covenental Epistemology
From Esther Lightcap Meek.
- Knowledge as information versus knowledge as transformation
- Knowledge can't be quantized and subdivided, acquired etc
- To gain knowledge, one has to adopt a pattern of attending combined with openness
- Sometimes we call this "teachability"
- do they want to learn
- are they willing to be taught
- Sometimes we call this "teachability"
- The process of knowledge acquisition happens through SFI
- focus on certain "subsidiaries" - details - discrete elements
- eventually the details coalesce (integrate!) into a focal
- once integration happens, you "indwell" the knowledge and it takes on a character of "from -> to"
- you're in it - you've BECOME something - you have been changed/transformed
- example of learning how to play tennis - lots of details - eventually those pass away
- knowledge as information acquisition is ultimately about power, knowledge about transformation is about "serving the work", becoming the lover/beloved
- Amateur - "for the love"
- unifies different types of knowledge:
- faith/truth
- artistic/intellectual
- intuitive/didactic
- Are all propositional statements post-facto?
- Why covenant?
