According to Russell, all knowledge is ultimately dependent upon Experience , but some of it is direct, which is when we have knowledge by acquaintance, and some of it is indirect, which depends on a Description of a direct experience. Thus, for example, if one feels a Pain , one is directly acquainted with it and knows that she has a pain, which is knowledge by acquaintance. If someone else reports that he is experiencing a pain, then one only knows this by virtue of his description of the pain, and not because one is directly acquainted with it. |
