The purpose of the present study was to examine the philosopical and psychological backgrounds of knowledge, and to establish such a hypothesis for the foundation of knowledge that can compensate for
the lacks of belief, subjectivity, and behavior pattern in the youths who have leaned the modern education.
Philosopical theories of knowledge were classified into two viewpoints. One including empiricism and pragmatism was to insist that knowledge takes its foundation from external things and events.
Other as rationalism or idealism was the viewpoint that knowledge is formed by THE INNATE IDEA or A PRIOI FORM of human subject, In other word, the knower was emphasized more the known.
According to the former, human had only probable knowledge but no necessary one. To say again, human might well wander in vague world because of the lacks of subjectivity, necessity, value, and belief as subjective attributes of human.
But human in the case of the latter could behave with necessity, subjectivity and belief etc. However, what THE INNATE or A PRIORI means by was the most difficult problem.
Largely because of the rapidly growing influence and authority of natural sciences, "psychology as science had mainly concerned itself with problems of knowability or intelligence and learning rather than THE INNATE or A PRIORI,
In fact, It had simplified intelligence, and explained human learning by animal learning(conditioning). To Piaget, whatever is THE INNATE, had itself been learned by the species during evolutional development.
In right of the purpose of this study and the backgrounds, several hypotheses were established as follows:
1) There is human learning by which human become Lord of all creation.
2) The lacks of belief, subjectivity, value, and behavior pattern is due to theories of knowkdge based on external things and events.
3) Behavior is knowledge. In other word, all behavior include cognitive factor and affective factor.
This rebuilds Scorates' principle that "to know and to act are same and one", that must be the premise and ideal of the education.
4) REASON as ideal knowledge of human species is a mirror that reflects the principles of knowledge (necessity, certainty etc.)
5) UNDERSTANDING is knowledge learned during an individual development.
6) SENSE la receptor that provides the informations and materials of external things and events.
7) Structure of conciousness consists of REASON as stable circle in centre, SENSE as meandering srounded surface, and UNDERSTANDING as an ellipse between the former and latter.
