Conceptual understanding ⏳

Conceptual understanding is the correct understanding of a concept arrived by study and examination of that concept in depth. Such understanding is by no means dry and sterile. When rooted in a faith in the worth of the concept and a strong determination to understand it, it serves the germ from which experiential understanding evolves. Conceptual understanding is the understanding of the left hemisphere, as The left hemisphere sees things abstracted, isolated, and stripped of context and the left hemisphere prioritizes theory over experience.
