Best of Week: Interpretation

All week we have been reading this article called "consilience" a unity of knowledge. The key idea discussed in this article is interpretation. The author says that interpretation is an art of it's own. It is the engine that drives consilience and I think that that is a very strong idea. We mostly talk about how when reading these articles, we have to interpret what they are saying in our own way to really understand it. You ask, how do you know that you know something? If you can interpret it in your own way. But this is a very hard thing to do sometimes and can get frustrating. Anyways, this is a huge reoccuring idea in class everyday and is very powerful. I would like to see myself being able to interpret others works in my own way this year and when I get to college. Thats why I love that we are getting the practice now.
