Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to examine philosophical knowing and practical knowing in the Science of Unitary Human Beings for the purpose of documenting evidence of their interrelationship in existing practice tools and practice methodologies that are based on Rogers' philosophical assumptions. We contend that identification of philosophical knowing and practical knowing in the Science of Unitary Human Beings illustrates the nature of each and exposes the importance of their interrelationship for future knowledge development.
