Re: coming to know the world
To know people:
Experience - Travel + Conversations
Academic - Social/Cultural Anthropology + Philosophy (maybe Theology, but the former 2 cover that base)
To know nature:
Experience - Hiking (Forest/Jungle/Mountians/Tundra)
Academic - Geography, Botany and Biology
To understand the elements of constructing the world:
Academic - Physics, Maths, Chemistry and Geology.
(Experientially? Maybe, but don't see how)
It's not as easy as one course or one prescriptive method depending on how you see "the world".
