OKUMANYA (KNOWING & KNOWLEDGE — What It Is, How We Know, and Why It Matters)

Knowledge shapes how we think, decide, believe, and live. Yet beneath every claim to knowledge lies a deeper question: *how do we know what we know?* This is the heart of **epistemology**—the study of knowledge itself. In this session, we explore knowing and knowledge not just as information, but as a complex human activity involving truth, belief, evidence, experience, and trust. 💭 What is knowledge—facts, understanding, experience, or wisdom? 💭 What is the difference between *knowing*, *believing*, and *being certain*? 💭 How do we know what we know—through reason, experience, authority, intuition, or revelation? 💭 How can we tell whether someone truly knows something or merely claims to know? 💭 What role do evidence, coherence, and reliability play in knowledge? 💭 Are there different standards of knowing in science, faith, ethics, and daily life? We also examine the **types of knowledge**—empirical, rational, experiential, moral, and spiritual—and how each comes with both strengths and limits. This conversation does not assume that more knowledge automatically leads to wisdom. We ask hard questions about the *advantages* of knowledge—clarity, progress, freedom—and its **disadvantages**—pride, anxiety, misuse of power, and increased responsibility. Ultimately, this session challenges us to reflect on the foundations of our convictions: Why do we trust certain sources? What makes a belief justified? And how should humility shape our pursuit of truth? Whether you approach knowledge as a student, believer, skeptic, or lifelong learner, this discussion invites you to think more carefully about not only what you know, but how you know—and whether your knowing is leading you toward truth, wisdom, and life. *Questioning to Believe. Believing to Understand.*
