having formed a question that matters to me (Why is scientific knowledge regarded as superior to other forms [types] of knowledge?), some further thinking was "initiated".

first, what is "the other type" of knowledge? what are the analyitical dimensions of non-scientific knowledge? for instance: knowledge based on individual experience, passed knowledge ("tradiert" in german, I don't know an english term that bears the same meaning) anything else?

second, can there be such thing as an "individual knowledge" (may it scientific or not)? the philosopher in me (in particular the epistemologist) shouts "of course", the sociologist shakes his head - still, I favor the later (in particular after having enjoyed some lectures and seminars from the science studies department...)

third, and this concerns the next session, what topics will the other participants (in particular the boys and girls from very different departments like business studies) bring up?

questions over questions...
