Summary
This study explores the core knowings of living quality: wisdom, witness, and silence. Deep contemplation revealed key essences and paradoxes, enhancing the understanding of a high-quality life.
Area of Science:
- Philosophy of Mind
- Qualitative Research
- Existential Psychology
Background:
- The concept of 'living quality' remains multifaceted and subject to diverse interpretations.
- Existing frameworks often lack a focus on the inherent, subjective knowings that constitute a high-quality life.
Purpose of the Study:
- To illuminate and elaborate the inherent core knowings foundational to living quality.
- To explore the essences and paradoxes that emerge from deep contemplation of these core knowings.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative inquiry through deep contemplation.
- Phenomenological exploration of subjective experience.
- Hermeneutic analysis of emergent themes.
Main Results:
- Identification of three core knowings: fortifying wisdom, discerning witness, and penetrating silence.
- Unveiling of specific essences and paradoxes associated with each core knowing.
- Enhanced understanding of the subjective dimensions of living quality.
Conclusions:
- Living quality is deeply rooted in inherent knowings of wisdom, witness, and silence.
- Contemplation of these knowings yields profound insights into life's essences and paradoxes.
- This research offers a novel perspective on cultivating a high-quality life through inner awareness.

By organizing data on survival probabilities and mortality rates, life tables offer a clear snapshot of population dynamics over time. They are extensively used in demography, public health, actuarial science, and ecology to analyze life expectancy, design health interventions,...

Quality of Water

In concrete preparation, the quality of water is paramount as it affects the strength and durability of the concrete. Potable water is usually preferred; however, it must not have excessive sodium or potassium to prevent compromising the concrete's integrity. Water quality is typically evaluated based on impurities such as dissolved solids, chlorides, and sulfates, and its pH value is ideally between 6 and 8. Even slightly acidic natural water may be acceptable unless it contains harmful...
