Harville Hendrix Quote
Helen’s research in the field of epistemology, the science of how we know what we know, helps explain why. There are two different types of knowing: Separate Knowing and Connected Knowing. Here’s an illustration of the differences between the two. You have a separate or intellectual knowing of an apple if you can recognize a picture of the fruit, understand that it contains the seeds of the plant, or talk about its health benefits. You have a connected or more experiential knowing of an apple when you hold one in your hand, feel the waxy texture of the skin, smell it, and taste it. Separate knowing is abstract. Connected knowing is concrete. Combining these two ways of knowing can give you a more comprehensive level of understanding. You learn about the apple and you taste it.
