Better Understanding

I like how our last class, Monday's article, and today's reading all complemented each other nicely and gave us a new perspective on gaining knowledge. It seems that when we usually talk about things like the truth most of the time people refer to the facts that can be justified as knowledge. Elgin tells us, no, it is so much more than that which is initially tenible and may lead to a better understanding. Art and other similar things that challenge our htinking may and should give us new perspectives. It's also a relief to know that we don't always have to be so literal and that metaphorically speaking can achive knowledge and understanding as well.
