No knowledge can be made without the knowledge to make knowledge. What is your judgement?

Answer 1

Knowledge is obtained in a number of different ways. One is by discovery, which might fit your statement. But the other is by accident.

It's like learning about pleasure. Some forms you have to learn about. Others just happen without trying.

Answer 2

Let's pretend this statement is a little different. Replace the word knowledge with the word pizza.

No pizza can be made without the pizza to make pizza.

Can you make a pizza out of a pizza? Maybe, but that isn't usually how one makes pizza. One usually makes a pizza (or any other dish) out of lesser ingredients.

I said "no" pizza can be made without the pizza to make pizza. Because a recipe can be used with lesser ingredients to make pizza, then this proves that the statement is false.

Similarily, with knowledge, it doesn't need itself to make itself (though it probably helps to learn more after we already have some). We aren't born with knowledge. As a growing embryo or fetus, we have no knowledge. Perhaps the ingredients for knowledge are there, but knowledge will have to begin from scratch at some point. I sincerely doubt that a couple of cells in a mother's womb can know much. But hey, what do I know?

Answer 3

This argument, i would say, is fallacious.
It is implied in this question that knowledge must be then, previously been existing, and a knower must then be previously equipped with it to be able to 'make' knowledge.
what makes knowledge requires a body of organ, the doer of the act of making knowledge, as insinuated in your question.

Plato held that knowledge has been planted in our soul before birth. True knowledge is reached, accdg to him, when these ideas are remembered and take the front of consciousness. In here, we can clearly see the essence of knowledge, knowledge that became inherent in us. This is called conceptual knowledge as distinguished from sense knowledge which is derived from sense experience.

Kant further maintained that this powerful argument that mind is the creator of ideas-one understands only the knowledge that which he can create freely in thought. We cannot know the world outside the mind but we can act as though it existed and true, and can correct these ideas in terms of the additional impressions from sense experience.

With these two principles, i believe knowledge comes in without being able 'to have the knowledge to make such knowledge'.

Answer 4

You are right. That is why today "knowledge management" is picking up in the corporate. Any management is planning, organizing, executing, controlling and supervising. When you do all this to knowledge, you do knowledge management. Now knowledge of that, is knowledge of knowledge management.
Some companies today have Chief Knowledge Manager.

Answer 5

In our time before self consciousness is our time before the knowledge concept, knowledge as a utility value. In that time knowledge is otherness. At the stage of purpose is the consciousness for knowledge as usable, knowledge as a utility value, but knowledge accumulates as concrete sense from the on set for selfless consciousness.

'The Preoperational Period
(2-7 years)
[More on this stage]
Developmental Stage
& Approximate Age Characteristic Behavior

Preoperational Phase
(2-4 years) Increased use of verbal representation but speech is egocentric. The beginnings of symbolic rather than simple motor play. Transductive reasoning. Can think about something without the object being present by use of language.
Intuitive Phase
(4-7 years) Speech becomes more social, less egocentric. The child has an intuitive grasp of logical concepts in some areas. However, there is still a tendency to focus attention on one aspect of an object while ignoring others. Concepts formed are crude and irreversible. Easy to believe in magical increase, decrease, disappearance. Reality not firm. Perceptions dominate judgment.
In moral-ethical realm, the child is not able to show principles underlying best behavior. Rules of a game not develop, only uses simple do's and don'ts imposed by authority.'

Comprehesion for Purpose for rules for a game not developed, the human at this 'Preoperational Phase' only uses simple do's and don'ts imposed by authority.

Answer 6

I do not think we can make knowledge at all. I would change this to discover knowledge. If you are alive I think you can discover knowledge. Being alive suggests some faculties to observe the environment and adapt to the environment. Knowledge of the hot stove can come from touching the stove.

Answer 7

Knowledge is accumulative. The ability to collect, store, and process data produces knowledge. That ability comes from birth, unless you call birth a knowledge.

Answer 8

1 + 1 = 3 Yes, grasshopper.

Answer 9

You can't learn anything that you don't already know.

Answer 10

I don't know.
