[edit] Dark Knowledge

A three sentence article that doesn't really say anything; what little it says is unsourced. Prod tag was disputed OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:42, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Oh, I know what the article is about. Though, we call it the unknown, things beyond the human capacity to understand, the absolute truth, etc. Meh, I shouldn't have slept through my philosphy classes. Delete per WP:NOT. zephyr2k 23:24, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Some References to "Dark Knowledge" in theologies --

"Gregory P Rocca, OP, “The ‘Dark Knowledge of God’ and Our Worship of the Divine Mystery,” Nova et Vetera 3:4 (Fall 2005): 807-823.

Critique --
One critique of "Dark Knowledge" is that is assumes that knowledge exists independently of sentient beings. However, people like Hume, Kant, Piaget, present arguments in favor of knowledge (such as causality) being a creation and belief of the mind.

• • Yeah, the term exists. Took my philosophy in Filipino language so I know it using a different term. But the article is still essentially a dicdef. Not sure how this article can be expanded. Any suggestions? zephyr2k 02:51, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as dicdef, without possiblility of expansion. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 20:59, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
