Abstract
Based on perceptual pluralism, the holistic personality functional system of knowing, as is mentioned in the literature on worldviews, perceptual systems, and scientific attitudes, consists of three essential characters: feelings, understanding, and intention. Moreover, when the three characters interact with each other in a harmonious manner, different aspects of thinking mechanisms are formed. In this paper, because there are many different definitions about feelings, understanding, and intention in both Chinese and Western cultures, I redefine the three essential characters to make them more concrete and operationalized, and propose a dynamic mechanism of knowledge construction through conceptualization and induction by learners. The discussion will provide implications and applications about this new Knowing mechanism.
