Acquisition of knowledge

@fenharelenaste

Her leg was fine by then. The healer who had taken care of her had done some hard-work on her. Least she wasn’t limping around the place anymore. The avvar didn’t really know how to deal with it. Most people left her alone cause they didn’t know what to make of her. Some, things, not even sure if they were people or spirits were trying to make contact with her or simply gawked at her.

At the moment she was in what had to be a library. Books from wall to wall. Floor to ceiling. Stacked nicely in shelves. People were reading in outmost silence. In turn, she tried to be as quiet as possible as she looked for anything that was familiar to her. She didn’t understand this language so she was hoping to find a dictionary? or some clear references in languages that would give her a clue.

There was really, nothing there. Though, determined as she always was, she took a book out of the shelf. There had to be way. It wasn’t like spirits could connect to her like they had with her mother. Sadly. bowing some dust from the covers she opened it, and just saw pages strewn with unknown writing and strange letters. Maybe she could ask that man who had found her? He spoke to her through her head. Which was very very creepy, and not the least bit re-assuring, but at least there was a chance of her learning the language. But where was he? he was not an easy person to find, unless he wanted to be found.

[D]ifferent kinds of perception create different kinds of knowing and understanding. [....] I believe our personal perceptions [....] are at the heart of how we acquire knowledge. Aesthetic judgements, rather than abstract reasoning, guide and shape the process by which we all come to know what we know
