Aristotle's Three Types of Knowledge:

Techne was craft knowledge: learning to use tools and methods to create something.

Episteme
was scientific knowledge: uncovering the laws of nature and other inviolable facts, that, however poorly understood they might be at the moment, “cannot be other than they are.”

Phronesis was akin to ethical judgment: the perspective-taking and wisdom required to make decisions when competing values are in play — when the answer is not absolute, multiple options are possible, and things can be other than what they are.
