What is Knowledge

[The Stranger]

This is what wikipedia (res. Oxford Universitiy) offers us: Knowledge is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as (i) expertise, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject, (ii) what is known in a particular field or in total; facts and information or (iii) awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation.

Can anyone else offer another (maybe better, if one could say that) definition (if there is one) of knowledge? I'm quite interested.

Most of the time you hear: Knowledge is fact (are facts), knowledge is perception, knowledge is information, knowledge is wisdom, knowledge is power, etc.

I say knowledge is that which is known. Now we can debate what it is to truly "know" something. (Planescape: Torment )
