Aristotle's Conformity Theory
- To know something, possess the same "idos" (form) as it.
- This "conformity theory" of knowing involves a change in one's being, not just beliefs.
Patterns of Intelligibility
- When we make sense of things, the pattern in our mind mirrors the pattern in the world.
- This implies a deep connection between our understanding and the structure of reality.
Testing Reality
- Ensure your mind is in an optimal state and the environment isn't distorting.
- Seek intersubjective agreement with others to confirm your understanding.
