In philosophy, is it true that the "more you know," the "more you know that you don't know?"

Albert Einstein said that the universe is infinite. Picture everything you know as a open door and everything you don%26#039;t know as a closed door. As you explore every open door, there is always a hallway leading to more open and closed doors symbolizing your knowledge. If you haven%26#039;t opened the door, you don%26#039;t know what%26#039;s behind it -- symbolizing ignorance is bliss. You discover whenever you open a door, there is a hallway of closed doors waiting for you -- symbolizing the details to that topic. If you open more doors, the ratio of open to closed doors declines and since the world is infinite, there are infinite amount of closed doors. So is it true that the %26quot;more you know,%26quot; the %26quot;more you know that you don%26#039;t know?%26quot;
In philosophy, is it true that the %26quot;more you know,%26quot; the %26quot;more you know that you don%26#039;t know?%26quot;
Yes, because every time you find an answer to your question another question arises.





By the way, universe is finite in size.
In philosophy, is it true that the %26quot;more you know,%26quot; the %26quot;more you know that you don%26#039;t know?%26quot;
Good analogy. Yes, it%26#039;s true, but that%26#039;s what makes the universe so wonderful and exciting. You never stop learning, and as you eloquently pointed out, you never have to. Peace

Reply:Draw a circle. Inside the circle is what we know. The circumference is the boundary of our knowledge. Outside the circle is all that we don%26#039;t yet know. Each thing we learn makes the circle bigger so that it touches what we don%26#039;t know at more points. The larger the circle the more places it meets what we don%26#039;t know.
Reply:it may be accurate to say that %26#039; the more you know the more you see nothing can be known.%26#039;


everything is true and everything is a lie and both are true.


observation changes the thing being observed so you will never see things as they are.





the farther out into space you look, the farther it goes. the deeper into particles you look, the smaller they get.





knowledge is the pursuit of its self and how can something posses what it already is?





we really know nothing but what we%26#039;ve been told.





you call this string of symbols something because you were told to. knowledge is mimicry of what another says.





you can not know something for your self in a vacuum because you would have no reference or means to symbolize it without prior reference.





the more you know the more you understand that nothing can be known
Reply:yup knowing nevers end but becareful what u know because knowledge can kill your whole future and life. I am the victim of knowledge a piece of someone%26#039;s worthless junk!
Reply:What we can know is finite and what we can%26#039;t know is infinite.





With philosophy, we are sooner or later led to the conclusion that coming to the Truth via the mind, is impossible, and that something else is needed and thus all knowledge begins with the axiom: Know thyself. Knowing does not mean with the mind and self does not refer to the body or mind.





The reason this is so important is because like anything, we must know the instrument of knowing, just like a scientist knows his microscope or telescope, so the philosopher must know his instrument of knowing, and that begins with consciousness.
Reply:yes it is true--it%26#039;s like socrates reflecting on true wisdom--u can only be truly wise when you know that you don%26#039;t know and that acknowledgement will lead you to better yourself by opening doors to greater knowledge
