Notes for now...

Knowledge state of person or self.  Knowledge is an achievement and is thus earned.

Belief does not equate to knowledge if not supported by evidence even if the belief is true.
True opinion is not enough for knowledge.

Knowledge requires truth of what it is that we know.  Belief - have to be committed to think that the belief is right and it must be justified.

It is not enough to believe
It is not enough to believe even if you are right
It is not enough to be certain as certainty can later be proven to be false and therefore there is no knowledge

Self 4

MIND -

1 - Cognitive - Has to do with what you know i.e., memory or confident belief.   My teacher’s name was Mary Smith, I used to live at 123 Main Street, and I graduated in 1929.

Affective - Emotions and Moods

2 - Moods are states of feeling that do not have content.  Moods are not created in someone because of any specific object or any particular situation.  For example, if a person gets angry, he expresses that emotion towards someone.  If a person is in a sad mood, he cannot express it to others.  Mood is something you may not express whereas an emotion can be expressed.  Coffee causes anxiousness, we know how we got anxious, but cannot say why we are anxious.  I know I am being a bitchy, but I don’t know why.  I feel ashamed, but I’m not sure I should be.  Boy, I woke up bouncy and I wonder why.  Moods are contagious.

3 - Emotions: Anger, joy, sorrow, love have reasons for existing and can be answered.

Experiential: External or Internal - affects 5 senses.

All this can be intertwined.  Ex:

As my car approaches my friend’s house, I see her and some of her family members sitting outside on a cold fall day enjoying a small bonfire.  I get out of my car and approach them.  Seeing the bonfire, smelling the smoke, feeling the heat, and hearing the crackle (senses), remind me of (cognitive) all the festivals that I attended including my first one.  I met him and fell in love with him at my first festival and this memory brings joy and sorrow (emotions) because   (shows why and has reason for being) even though it has been almost 5 years, we are together and yet we are apart.  I also remember the fear (cognitive/emotion) that welled up inside me at being attracted to him as I did not want to get involved.  All in all, the memory leaves me in mellow (mood), but I cannot state why.

4 - Character Traits:

Impatient, generous, good sense of humor, mean, nice, brave, lazy, creative, etc.

Some are dispositional, i.e., can lie dormant until such and such appears to bring about the trait.
Ex: Although Henry is a very generous man when he is drinking, which is most of the time, when he is sober, he is a penny pincher.
