If human knowledge is divided into two parts, the experience common to all, and the part peculiar to scholars, the latter amount is insignificant in comparison.It's just that we seldom pay attention to that shared experience, because most of this knowledge is acquired before the age of reason.Even animals possess a great deal of knowledge, they have senses and must learn to use them, they have needs which they must learn to satisfy, they must learn to eat or walk or fly.Quadrupeds are born to stand, but not to walk, and their first attempts seem decidedly unsure.The canary that escaped from the cage could not fly because it had never used its wings.Animate, sentient beings are always learning.
