Knowledge from Explanation
推理而得的知识。“说知”是墨家提出的一种知识类别，同时也标志着一种认知方式。墨家认为，知识的获取有三种方式，即“亲知”“闻知”“说知”。“说知”指利用已有的知识或信息，对其进行推理而认知事物。
Knowledge from explanation is a type of knowledge and a way of acquiring it proposed by the Mohist School. In their opinion, knowledge is gained in three ways: by personal experience, by hearsay, and by explanation. To learn by explanation means making use of one’s own knowledge and information to reach conclusions and gain understanding.
