Great question! Let’s break it down simply:
Knowledge is the understanding, awareness, or familiarity someone has with facts, information, or skills. It usually comes from learning, experience, or education.
There are a few different kinds of knowledge too:
- Explicit knowledge – stuff you can write down or explain easily, like math formulas or how to bake a cake.
- Tacit knowledge – things you just know from experience, like riding a bike or recognizing someone’s emotions.
- Practical knowledge – knowing how to do something.
- Theoretical knowledge – understanding why something works the way it does.
So basically, knowledge is what you “know” – in your head, your hands, or your habits.
Want to go deeper into this idea? Like how philosophers see it, or how knowledge is used in science or tech?
