Synopsis

Ștefan Afloroaei explores the distinction between knowledge and understanding, arguing they represent irreducible mental conducts. While knowledge involves gathering facts or technical skills, true understanding requires reflexive recognition, moral alignment, and existential integration. Drawing on thinkers like Gadamer, Heisenberg, and Coșeriu, Afloroaei critiques modern society's obsession with information and efficiency, which often leads to "weak understanding." He concludes that knowing facts is insufficient without evaluating their broader significance within our lived experience.THIS ABSTRACT IS GENERATED WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
