My Blog

About the Blog

I write this blog to detail out the subjects and topics that I teach and I researched on at the University, so that students could better understand the topics that they learn. Of course, the readers are not confined to students only, but include all people from different walks of life that may find the topic interesting and wants to learn more.

The topics that I plan to write include: -

General Philosophy
Knowledge Management
Artificial Intelligence
Business Analytics
Financial Technology
Digital Entrepreneurship

and I might include other topics that I have been involved professionally like banking, auditing et cetera.

I also maintain another blog at http://alshaharudin.com/ where I write more general topics based on my learning and experiences.

I hope my readers will gain benefit from what I write.

Besides of what was revealed in the Holy Quran about knowledge ( in Part 1 ), early Western philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes and many more have defined knowledge in their own terms.
