Hi Alina- I'm delighted that you chose to write more on this subject after our earlier exchange. It's fascinating to consider how our worldview deeply affects how we order (construct, etc.) and respond to knowledge in our daily lives. Unlike yourself, most people are probably only dimly aware of *how* they think (if at all). But it affects everything we do.

I'd like to say that my epistemology differs radically from yours (inasmuch as I believe that there *are* truths that apply for all people and all times). The truth is (ha! pun intended) that we're all still somewhat trapped in the Cartesian model of thinking which creates an ever widening opposition between subject and object. This is evident even in your discussion of epistemology: the relation of mind (subject) to reality (object). In the 20th century, phenomenologists like Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger attempted to overcome this opposition. It is debatable whether they succeeded.

I'm just starting on my career journey in Knowledge Management. The distinction between Operations and Projects is very helpful, thank you! I look forward to more of these topics.
