How to use "Under-standing" in context?
In philosophical discussions, understanding has come to be a key concept. Essentially, understanding is a condition that is supposed to be met in order for two or more parties to be able to communicate and share knowledge about each other. This communication is often seen as the key to understanding another person or thing. So, what does understanding involve? The philosophical debate surrounding this question is complex, but it typically centres around three aspects of understanding: cognitive, emotional and spiritual.
Cognitive understanding involves possessing the knowledge necessary to understand the information being received. For example, one needs to understand the grammar of a text in order to read it.
