How do we know what the truth is when you've been brought up to understand otherwise your entire life? For example (hypothetically), what if every person as we perceive it, is in truth actually something else? You and everyone around you believe that you and everyone else is a person, however that isn't true. We are mere puppets of real people controlling us.
The picture above explains it.. done. Jk, but I will explain it. The way the knower perceives or knows something depends on what the knower uses to sort it out in his/her mind. The emotion, reason, perception and language. However, when those are wrong you can use areas of knowledge to try to prove or disprove it. Using the natural sciences, human sciences, history, arts, ethics, and mathematics help.
