saber y conocer

Knowledge and wisdom, savoir et connaître, ведать и знать, etc. Not only in Indo-European languages, but in may others (e.g. yakut).

For decades I tried to figure out how come this dichotomy is so ubiquitous, although not explicitly recognized.

It turned out it's a part of epistemology. Kant wrote about it. Popper, Quine. And of course it's a part of Navya-Nyaya logic.

(Just reading about "Einstein-Bohr discussions", that's where I found it.)
