A way of saying something that has historical connotations. When I say "Epistemology" that is a loaded word that goes all the way back to the Greek derivative. When I use that word it suggests that I've done a little thinking around what truth really is and how it is acquired or if it really exists at all . It would take forever to define all of its parts in easy to understand language in order to make my point. As post moderns we have a problem with using more obscure words because it can be used as a power play. I would argue that the post modern critique of intelligence as a power game has eroded real understanding of intelligence and of God. All of this in light of your professors anomalous use of the word. Big words are shorthand. A way of saying something that has historical connotations.

I think that a lot of what we do today is one step removed from actually having to figure things out for ourselves. I have some friends that go to an alternative learning style school where all they do is creative problem solving exercises all day. I'm not sure how that will bear out in some standardized test, but I can tell you that they are much more situated to create 'new knowledge' than someone who doesn't learn that way.
