Subjects covered:

• Each sentient being has an urge to know.
• In the absence of knowledge the very existence of the being in question would be in jeopardy.
• The ways in which people may try to make sense of the reality around them may differ.
• The question which arises in this respect is ‘which one of the knowledge claims is on the right path?’
