Knowledge Acquisition

by 20h

## Intro

Today's track of talks shows different ways of knowledge acquisition.

## Knowledge Acquisition

Start with the knowledge acquisition from oberservation, theory finding
and adaptation to modern science coming from thousands of years of
fine-grained practical experience.

Scholars from thousands of years have made theories in their head, which
then were stripped down to what we do today. Those theories are developed
further with more knowledge.

This is a process of complexity observation to fitting theory and
practical application.

This is how social science gives us knowledge.

## Knowledge Acquisition

The second way of knowledge acquisition is to start from the basics of
what is presented in nature, from proteins, genes, cells and use those
tools with new research discoveries for new practical treatments.

From the finding of DNA, RNA to specific RNAs. This is combined with
cell receptors and as of today practical relevance in treating diseases.

This is a case of natural rules leading to practical appplication.

This is how natural science gives us knowledge.

## The old fight: Is Medicine a social or a natural science?

It is both, as you will see.

Knowledge and methods from both sides are used.

## Knowledge Processing

We have found out how natural and social science generate knowledge for
us to be reused.

Next comes the science of knowledge, which is information science and its
practical application, computer science.

The newest step of evolution in the science of knowledge is to use it to
theorize about known or not knowing and using this fact for proving.
