Knowledge of single reality

• Can we have knowledge of a single reality that is independent of the knower? NO
• is there a reality without us seeing or experiencing it?
• Knowledge is not only constructed by and within the individual but is also socially constructed with influences by individuals and environments coming into contact.
• There is knowledge "out there" that just hasn't been acknowledged/discovered yet 
• Is knowledge social in nature?
• The perception of knowledge depends on the individual or group
• Can a man be "an island"?  Search for knowledge by himself without ANY outside influences?
• There should be no attempt to achieve consensus among differing positions except to agree or disagree
• There is something out there in the universe, omniscient?
• In reading, knowledge is not located within the text or the reader but in the transaction at that particular point in time.  VERY Rosenblatt.  More experiences changes the transaction the next time the text is "read"
