Deductive.\n\nWhen you know a rule and apply it to a situation, you are DEDUCING the solution in that situation.\n\nThe other type of reasoning is inductive.\nWhen you observe many examples of a particular behavior (or relationship, or whatever), you may conclude INDUCTIVELY that it will occur in ALL situations. (But of course you can't be SURE that it will. Your degree of confidence is based on the number of situations in which you have seen it happen, and the fact that you have never seen it NOT happen.)

Knowledge is best defined (I think) by Peter Senge as "the capacity for effective action."\n\nThink of Obi-Wan Kenobi: he is full of knowledge, because he knows exactly what to do and how to act effectively.\n\nSo to answer your question, I think the nature of knowledge is first mental.\n\nPeople often confuse knowledge with information. They often say that books contain knowledge, when in fact, books only contain information. That information becomes knowledge when you read it and integrate it into your long-term memory so you can use it at the right time and place.\n\nI would add to Senge's definition: "Knowledge is the capacity for effective action or superior discrimination."\n\nIn other words, knowledge should enable you to make better decisions because you can evaluate information better than the average person.

Logic is A=B, B=C, therefore A=C. (sees the steps in a process, understands cause and effect, etc)\n\nCritical thinking says.... "okay, that is true, but why? and what can I do with that knowledge? and how will affect/effect me now and in the future?"

Falsehood has existence. It does exist so long as it is unfolded and the Truth emerges out of it. It is Francis Bacon who said that Truth emerges more from errors than from confusion.

Imagination. How can you have knowledge without imagination? Isn't knowledge the ablity to thinK in different ways processing facts etc and the belief in discovering the unknown. So imagination is key. If you think of it the question answers itself. Dare to dream my friends.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.\n\n\nTo punish me for my contempt of authority, Fate has made me an authority myself."
