• EMPERIC KNOWING


  Based on the assumption that what is known is accessible through the physical senses, particularly seeing, touching, and hearing, and as a pattern of knowing draws on traditional ideas of science. Expressed in practice as scientific competence.
• ETHICAL KNOWING


  Involves making moment-to-moment judgements about what ought to be done, what is good, what is right, and what is responsible. Guides and directs how we conduct our life and work, what we consider important, where our loyalties are placed and what priorities demand advocacy.
• PERSONAL KNOWING


  Concerns the inner experience of becoming a holistic, authentic self capable of unifying the plural dimensions in which that self lives in an honest and open manner. Full awareness of the self, the moment, and the context of interaction with others makes possible meaningful, shared human experience.
• AESTHETIC KNOWING


  Involves deep appreciation of the deeper meaning of a situation and calls forth inner creative resources that transform experience into what is not real, bringing to reality something that would not otherwise be possible.
