Catherine’s feeling deep today. It’s because of TOK.

Are feelings knowledge? And if they are, are they knowledge by description, or knowledge by acquaintance? Can feelings ever truly become knowledge by description. If knowledge by acquaintance is neither true nor false, is it truly knowledge? Do feelings necessarily have to be known? Does it matter if they are articulate or inarticulate? If knowledge and experience are not the same, does that mean that feelings are not knowledge? Can you actually KNOW what you are feeling? And if you can’t, then are feelings false? Are they merely a belief that one holds? Perhaps you can know if you are feeling something–but can you know what EXACTLY you are feeling? And could you describe it to someone else?
