Explain briefly each source of knowledge and discuss which source is most important
and why?

Introduction:

Knowledge is considered as the nourishment of psyche. The meaning of knowledge is progressing

banter among the thinkers in the field of epistemology. Information can be characterized as a commonality
mindfulness or comprehension of a person or thing, for example, actualities, data, depictions or aptitudes,
which is gained through encounters or training by seeing, finding or learning. There are a few different
ways of procuring knowledge, starting with sources that may not be as solid or precise as researchers would
want. We will consider sources that offer more noteworthy unwavering quality.

Sources of Knowledge:

Inquisitive to think about new things is the principle rousing variable for looking through new
information. At the point when an individual vibe disequilibrium in regards to any matter of substance, he
start scan for arriving at substantial resolution in regards to the matter of uncertainty. The procedure of
explanation drives them to equilibration in their insight. To get new data the individuals are utilizing
following approaches to aggregate new information.
 1. Intuition:

At the point when we gain information by means of instinct, it implies that we have information on
something without being intentionally mindful of where the information originated from. The issue is that
the occasions might be confounded what's more, not delegate of all occasions in that category. Archimedes'
principle are the living instances of obtained information through instincts. A considerable lot of the
existence circumstances we additionally had encountered natural information to take care of our life issues.

2. Superstition:

Picking up information by means of superstition implies getting information that is in light of

abstract emotions, translating arbitrary occasions as nonrandom occasions, or having faith in supernatural
occasions. For instance, you may have heard somebody state "terrible things occur in threes." where does
this thought come from? Supposedly, no examination has ever recorded that awful occasions happen in
threes, yet individuals much of the time say this and go about as though they trust it. A few people accept
that breaking a mirror brings 7 years of misfortune or that the number 13 is unfortunate.

3. Perception

Faculties are the portals of information. Five senses help a person to get essential data with respect
to any object, individual or occasions, etc. For instance, understudies can see an investigation directed by
the instructor, hear the clarification, contact the article or item, smell the yield, taste the item and so on.
Through this five action (five sense organs) or any one movement (single sense organ) understudies can
develop and check data in regards to the analysis directed.

4. Authority

At the point when we acknowledge what a regarded or renowned individual lets us know, we are
picking up information through power. You may have increased quite your very own bit information
through power figures. As you were growing up, your folks gave you data. You accepted that they
comprehended what they were discussing, and subsequently you acknowledged the appropriate responses
they gave you. You have presumably additionally picked up information from instructors whom you saw
as power figures, now and again indiscriminately tolerating what they said as truth. A great many people
will in general acknowledge data granted by those they see as power figures.

5. Tenacity

Picking up information by means of steadiness includes hearing an extract of data so regularly that
you start to trust it is valid, and afterward, in spite of proof in actuality, you stick tenaciously to the
conviction. This strategy is regularly utilized in political battles, where a specific motto is rehashed so
frequently that we start to trust it. Publicists likewise utilize the technique for perseverance by rehashing
their trademark for a specific item again and again until individuals start to connect the motto with the item
and accept that the item meets its cases. The issue with picking up information through diligence is that we
don't know whether the cases are valid. Apparently, the exactness of such information might not have been
assessed in any legitimate manner

6. Rationalism

Picking up information by means of realism includes coherent thinking. With this methodology,
thoughts are decisively expressed and coherent principles are applied to land at an intelligently stable end.
Judicious thoughts are regularly displayed as a syllogism. For instance: all people are mortal; i am a human;
therefore, i am mortal. This end is legitimately gotten from the major and minor premises in the syllogism.
Consider, nonetheless, the accompanying syllogism: attractive individuals are acceptable; Jack is alluring;
therefore, Jack is acceptable.

7. Empiricism

Information by means of experimentation includes picking up information through target

perception and the encounters of your faculties. The empiricist picks up information by observing, hearing,
tasting, smelling, and contacting. This strategy goes back to the time of Aristotle. Aristotle was an empiricist
who mentioned objective facts about the world so as to realize it better. Plato, conversely, wanted to
conjecture about the genuine idea of the world without social event any information

8. Experience

Individual just as expert experience of an individual contributes much in his insight. Individual
involvement with family, society, and neighborhood showed people numerous exercises in regards to the
conduct, alteration, social dealings, persistence, etc. Proficient encounters make an individual
consummately proficient. Information on issues with respect to be performed or not to be do in close to
home just as expert circumstance make through encounters. Learning by doing is additionally gone under
this class.

9. Conventions

Conventions are another significant wellspring of information. Much social related information are
safeguarded and transmitted through customs. For instance social aptitudes, values, social capacities are
altogether directed in customs of the general public. Conventions have neighborhood just as national effect.
An analyst can get data with respect to the indigenous treatment framework, old stories expressions, gifted
based customary social class are accessible from social conventions. There much data which is to a great
extent relies upon conventions.

10. Reasoning

Legitimate thinking is another method for securing knowledge. It is identified with brainy working.
Obliviousness and visually impaired accepts made man as a dozing cerebrums, later, interest and quest for
circumstances and logical results relationship made ready of unfurling characteristic realities and
certainties. Individuals become present day and created by the manner in which they moved toward the
issues through legitimate thinking. Deductive just as inductive thinking are risen when as strategies for
legitimate thinking. People may derive things through deductive thinking, dynamic reasoning, discovering
connection among occasions and factors, etc.

11. Research

Research is another method for gaining information. It is the trustworthy just as methods for
procuring dependable information on concerned. That is the reason examine is called as quest for truth or
creating information, hypothesis. From the mankind's history, as consequence of research an arrangement
development has been occurred from the beginning of human age. It straightforwardly affected the ways of
life of individuals. Consequently, these days a few position individuals are rely upon research to gather
fundamental information on their issues are concerned.

12. Scientific method

It is one of the most important source of obtaining knowledge. Picking up information by means of
science, at that point, includes a merger of realism and experimentation. Researchers gather information
through observation and test theories with these information (evaluate them utilizing realism). A
speculation is a forecast with respect to the result of an examination. Theories are expressed so that they
are testable. By consolidating realism and experimentation, we have the benefit of utilizing a coherent
contention dependent on perception. We may find that our theory isn't bolstered, and along these lines we
need to reconsider our position. Then again, our perceptions may strengthen the speculation being tried. In
science, the objective of testing speculations is to land at or test a hypothesis. A sorted out arrangement of
suspicions and rules that endeavors to clarify certain wonders and how they are connected. Speculations
help us to compose and clarify the information assembled in inquire about examinations. As such,
speculations enable us to build up a system in regards to the realities in a specific region. For instance,
Bohr’s hypothesis sorts out and discloses certainties identified with advancement. To build up his
hypothesis, he tried numerous speculations. Not with standing helping us arrange and clarify realities,
speculations help in creating new information by guiding analysts toward explicit perceptions of the world.

1. Identification and definition of problems

2. Formulation of hypotheses

3. Collection, organization and analysis of data

4. Formulation of conclusion

5. Verification, rejection, or modification of hypotheses

Conclusion:

In conclusion the way knowledge is gained and the sources of knowledge vary tremendously
according to age, education, and cultural backgrounds. In my opinion, I think Scientific method is the most
important source of knowledge as it the most systematic way and if any ambiguity is found in the method
u can go back and correct it. It involve the data finding using the five senses then formulating a hypothesis
.Data is collected and organized in proper way and then analysis is done. If the data supports the hypothesis
it is accepted otherwise it is rejected and process starts again with formulating new hypothesis.
