Knowledge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see Knowledge (disambiguation).

Personification of knowledge (Greek , Episteme) inCelsus Library in Ephesus, Turkey.

Knowledge is a familiarity with someone or something, which can include facts, information, descriptions, or skills acquired through experienceor education. It can refer to the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It can be implicit (as with practical skill or expertise) or explicit (as with the theoretical understanding of a subject); it can be more or less formal or systematic.[1] In philosophy, the study of knowledge is calledepistemology; the philosopher Plato famously defined knowledge as "justified true belief." However, no single agreed upon definition of knowledge exists, though there are numerous theories to explain it. Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception, communication, association and reasoning; while knowledge is also said to be related to the capacity of acknowledgment in human beings.[2]
