Discussion Papers & Notes
Knowledge and Mind Discussion Paper

A short discussion paper exploring the nature of knowledge based upon the idea that knowledge is a state of mind.  It attempts to acknowledge the fact that not all knowledge is cognitive in nature, but rather it can have affective (emotional) and conative (willing action, abilities) aspects.
