True knowledge/wisdom- do you think?

Question

Do you think that true knowledge/wisdom lies in admitting that you know nothing?

Random question.

Answer 1

There is a phrase called Myoho which means the known/understood/perceived/tangible is inseparable and miscible with the unknown/unperceived/intangible/indescrib...

Answer 2

It is a Taoist/Buddish question on wisdom.  When you come to the state of knowing yourself as: "s**+ Cze Kai Kon" (Saying in mandarin-chinese) meaning  Worldy Zero of the 6th roots of  love, hate, envy, greed, ----2 more? (Can fill in?) ------i.e. all nothing-ZERO.  Purity.  

Answer 3

No, because it is impossible to know that you know nothing. Its self-contradicting.

If you'd ask me how much I know, I'd say I know enough. For it is impossible to know nothing. Because at least, we know ourselves, γνῶθι σεαυτόν.

Answer 4

No,True knowledge comes from Life experience.

Through Life experience comes Learning.

Through learning comes teaching.

Which in turn poses many questions.Then through Questions come answers,or indeed more questions.

No one has Knowledge of everything,and no matter what one thinks they know,There is always someone,who knows more!

To admit you know nothing,is to say you are inadequate of your own knowledge!

Answer 5

I know nothing, applies only to knowledge, to knowing. And as far as wisdom, or our need to be wise is concerned, you will not find any good person making it into a statement of a kind, as to declare that I am not wise, would serve no good purpose. The people how want to admit to that nevertheless do it quietly within, to himself alone. The admission of a lack of wisdom for the world comes in form of humility and humbleness, which in itself is wise thing to do, a show of genuine maturity.

Now, I know nothing, is perhaps as deep and intriguing for its meanings in the mind as simplistic appear to the eye. I have thought about this many times, and each time I forget as how exactly was it the last time that I found this to be true. Each times I have to know it all over again.

This time I think like this: If I can have more of something than I need to of that thing, then I am right to believe that I am not the source of that thing, and if I am not the source of something, that I can have beyond all the measures of my natural needs, then the source must be somewhere else.

I think I can know more, and for that matter less, then all that I need to know. My indulgence knowledge through in knowing can also be addictive, or for purposes entirely exuberant in my mind. I could indulge to seek power, pride and prestige through learning. Then I am to certain capacities of my being the consumer or knowledge and not its originator, or terminator. Something that neither begins nor it end in me therefore must not be naturally mine.

Then finally I can know long as there is something to be known, knowledge, but if knowledge in not mine then nor is any knowing. There is not wonder that I forget each time as how exactly was it the last time that I found this to be true!

Answer 6

yes.

Answer 7

  

  Hi Gemba'

  What’s the difference between wisdom and knowledge? Clearly, the two are intimately related. In fact, it is impossible to separate them. One cannot be said truly to know something until the wisdom that knowledge engenders begins to be in evidence. Nor can one practice wisdom without the requisite knowledge and information that requires. There is an ineradicable overlap between knowledge and wisdom, and this, at the very least, demands that we not separate the two, or try to gain the one without the other, but that, like Solomon, we seek the two of them as part and parcel of one another and together integral to fulfilling our worldview calling. But first we must make sure we understand what we’re seeking.

Hope I have been of help.

Good luck.

Answer 8

No, I don't think that at all.

Answer 9

"All I know is that I don't know nothing" - Green Day

Socrates thought it was some kind of riddle when the Oracle said he was the wisest man of all because he believed that he knew nothing.... - I paraphrased from my bad memory.

Answer 10

Can I suggest that wisdom may begin when we admit that we do not know everything and that there are many truths out there.  Knowledge, by definition begins when we know something  ... anything, so I can't buy into the idea that knowledge begins when you admit you know nothing.

As a contribution to your wisdom and knowledge, you might want to look up the meaning of 'random'  to see whether it is really what you meant.  

Answer 11

Knowledge leads to understanding, while there is no wisdom without worship. Thinking surrenders to wisdom, and wisdom is lost in enlightened and reflective worship.

P.1302 - §3 The slowness of evolution, of human cultural progress, testifies to the effectiveness of that brake--material inertia--which so efficiently operates to r****d dangerous velocities of progress. Thus does time itself cushion and distribute the otherwise lethal results of premature escape from the next-encompassing barriers to human action. For when culture advances overfast, when material achievement outruns the evolution of worship-wisdom, then does civilization contain within itself the seeds of retrogression; and unless buttressed by the swift augmentation of experiential wisdom, such human societies will recede from high but premature levels of attainment, and the "dark ages" of the interregnum of wisdom will bear witness to the inexorable restoration of the imbalance between self-liberty and self-control.

Answer 12

true wisdom, yes.  it is wise to admit you know nothing, or very little when you really do not.

but it isnt necessarily true knowledge.  since knowledge of something is knowing it.  the opposite of knowing nothing.

Answer 13

Undoubtedly the greatest wisdom is not to be too wise....
