In today's era of information explosion, the acquisition of knowledge is becoming easier and easier, however, how to transform this knowledge into wisdom has become a question worth pondering.
Building a sound body of knowledge not only helps us better understand and apply knowledge, but also promotes the generation of wisdom.
So, how do you build an individual's body of knowledge?
Charlie Munger once said, "The world is a unified whole of interactions, and all human knowledge is part of an attempt at the study of this whole." Only by combining this knowledge and running through it in a single thinking framework can it help for correct cognition and decision-making. ”
This quote provides an important guiding principle for us to build a body of knowledge: first-principles orientation.
To establish a knowledge system guided by first principles is to start from a unified whole, deduce that things are universally connected and laws are universal, and then deduce the three major characteristics of knowledge: relevance, convergence and boundedness.
We then apply these three characteristics to the learning method, but of course to other areas as well.
Specifically, we can follow these steps to build a personal body of knowledge:
Step 1: Understand what constitutes a body of knowledge.
A knowledge system consists of three elements: knowledge, system, and function. Knowledge is the foundation, the system is the way of organization, and the function is to achieve the purpose. We need to be clear about what kind of knowledge system we want to build, and the purpose and value of this system.
Step 2: Sort out and build a knowledge system.
This step requires us to sort out the existing knowledge and find out the connections and patterns between them. At the same time, we also need to constantly learn new knowledge and integrate it into our knowledge system. In this process, we need to pay attention to the application scenarios and application effects of knowledge, because this is an important criterion for measuring the value of knowledge.
Step 3: Optimize the body of knowledge.
This step requires us to constantly reflect and summarize, find out the deficiencies in the knowledge system, and take measures to improve. For example, we can introduce new perspectives and approaches to refine our body of knowledge.
Building a knowledge system based on first principles is a way of thinking deeply.
It requires us to start from the most basic principles and gradually derive complex knowledge structures. This way of thinking not only helps us build a knowledge system, but also exercises our logical thinking skills.
In practice, we can apply first principles to guide our learning methods. For example, when we learn a new concept or theory, we can try to start from the most basic principles, understand its essence, and then learn its application and extension. In this way, we can not only understand the knowledge more deeply, but also flexibly apply the knowledge to different scenarios.
Building one's knowledge system based on first principles is a method of deep thinking and systematic learning.
In this way, we can turn knowledge into wisdom and continuously improve our cognitive level and decision-making ability.
