KNOWLEDGE

Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness or understanding of someone or something, such


as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which is acquired
through experience oreducation by perceiving, discovering, or learning.

Knowledge can refer to a 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. In philosophy, the study of
knowledge is called epistemology; the philosopher Plato famously defined knowledge as
"justified true belief", though "well-justified true belief" is more complete as it accounts for
the Gettier problems. However, several definitions of knowledge and theories to explain it
exist.

Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception, communication,


and reasoning; while knowledge is also said to be related to the capacity of
acknowledgment in human beings.
