WHAT DOES KNOWLEDGE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

knowledge

Knowledge

Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning. Knowledge can refer to a theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It can be implicit or explicit; it can be more or less formal or systematic. In philosophy, the study of knowledge is called epistemology; the philosopher Plato famously defined knowledge as "justified true belief". However, no single 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.

Definition of knowledge in the English dictionary

The first definition of knowledge in the dictionary is the facts, feelings or experiences known by a person or group of people. Other definition of knowledge is the state of knowing. Knowledge is also awareness, consciousness, or familiarity gained by experience or learning.
