Sources of Knowledge

Three accepted sources of knowledge are reason, experience, and intuition. Reason uses logic and reasoning to determine truth and follows coherence theory. Experience uses the five senses and sensory devices to verify empirical claims through correspondence theory. Intuition deals with immediate recognition of self-evident truths.

The coherence theory
of truth claims that the

Pragmatic Theory of truth
claims that a statement is
true if and only if it
effectively solves a
practical problem and
thereby experientially
satisfies us.
