Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present the emergence of a new knowledge dyad composed of cognitive and emotional knowledge. The old dyad made of explicit and tacit knowledge may become a particular case of the new one. The explicit-tacit knowledge dyad has been conceived in the Western thinking perspective of the dualism of mind and body, so well illustrated by the famous Cartesian expression: Cogito, ergo sum! The new dyad is conceived in the Eastern thinking perspective of oneness of body and mind. That means to recognize emotions as knowledge, and to give equal chances for them to parallel the cognitive knowledge. The paper advance also the new idea of the possible transformation of cognitive knowledge into emotional knowledge, and of emotional knowledge into cognitive knowledge, respectively. This knowledge dynamics constitute in our view one of the most important challenges for the knowledge management research.

Keywords: cognitive knowledge; emotional knowledge; explicit knowledge; tacit knowledge; knowledge dynamics. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
