Knowledge And The Dialectics Of The Human Mind

Motion is at the core of dialectical thinking (Hilav, 2012). In the case of the human mind, the concept of knowledge is defined in different ways in philosophy, sociology and psychology. Philosophers agree in distinguishing between knowledge in the first of these senses, and belief (Vesey & Foulkes, 1990, pp. 163-165). Sociology of knowledge is explained as “the study of how styles of expression and the character of ideas or systems of thought are related to different social contexts” (Bullock, Stallybrass & Trombley, 1988, pp. 457-458). In psychology, the most prevalent definition of knowledge is “the verified belief; dogmas and doctrines about the physical and social system (of human, society and culture); thoughts, hierarchy of principles; common things; whether it is innate or the experience gained, for the mental plane. In this sense, knowledge is close to what is meant by memory because the memory is the place for storing information” (Budak, 2005, pp. 129-130). However, all these definitions fail to provide us a full description within the circular frame of our study. To deal with a subject like mental construction of knowledge also requires the structure of its mechanism which provides us mental embodiment, as well as its nature.
