<blockquote>'Children’s powers of discrimination are astonishing, even from within the maternal womb. Their actions seem to be telling us they are in our presence and are watching out for any signal that can signify dialogue. I can easily imagine that anyone who has not lived this experience would find this difficult to believe it, but it has been clinically substantiated.'

(Haptonomy) - '..how affectivity shapes the human being in its being and essence throughout life.')</blockquote>

<blockquote>'
Information, Knowledge, and EntrepreneurshipIn order to thoroughly understand the nature of entrepreneurship as we have been approaching it, one must first comprehend the way it modifies or changes the
information or
knowledge the actor possesses. The perception or recognition of new ends and means implies a modification of the actor’s knowledge, in the sense that he discovers new information. Moreover, this discovery modifies the entire map or context of information or knowledge the subject possesses. Let us ask the following fundamental question: What are the characteristics of the information or knowledge which is relevant to the exercise of entrepreneurship? We will study in detail six basic features of this type of knowledge: 1) It is
subjective and
practical, rather than scientific, knowledge. 2) It is
exclusive knowledge. 3) It is
dispersed throughout the minds of all men. 4) It is mainly
tacit knowledge, and therefore not expressed in words. 5) It is knowledge created
ex nihilo, from nothing, precisely through the exercise of entrepreneurship. And 6) It is knowledge which can be
transmitted, for the most part unconsciously, via extremely complex social processes, the study of which is the object of research in economics.'
