Why is knowledge a virtue?

"I think that speaking the truth is better than lying, I think that being free is better than being a slave, I believe in knowing better than knowing." HL Mencken

Perhaps this is true: the opposite of knowledge is ignorance. No one would object to saying that ignorance is not a good thing.

I love knowledge more than ignorance and I do not want to be disadvantaged to ignorant people, so I am trying to educate myself about important things to me. For example, those who try to humiliate you by making a false, overly simple claim about what the Bible says. If you know better than they know, you do not need to listen or respond. You can change the theme with a smile!

But for this article, I would like to wear my reverse hat to emphasize the shortcomings of knowledge. The same quality that makes knowledge virtue may turn it into a bad habit. Knowledge form Knowledge notification It makes frames, labels, categories and shots that we can see the world. It functions as a haze, Instagram filter, and a poetic structure of our lives (think of the rules of Haiku and 5-7-5). But, be careful, these filters distort our vision. The thing we know is what we are going to do next, so the structure of knowledge generation may limit us. We started running with the same data bit, excessive sound, and autopilot without doubting our assumption. As Frank Lloyd Wright said, experts are "people who stopped thinking because he knows."

In this article, we will consider Plato's view that "understanding virtue is knowledge" understands "I can teach virtues". In my opinion, Plato strictly believes that "virtue is knowledge" and believes that "virtue is the gift of God". "Can you tell me a virtue?" This is what Plato tried to answer at Meno. This question is very important as the answer is directly related to how we understand and position education.

Plato provided his explanation for two different works, Protagora and the Republic of Virtue. Through Socrates in Protagoras Plato, I believe that virtue is knowledge. The premise of discussion is that everyone wants what they think is good. From this, we need to do it when a person does bad things or do bad things, we know that it is bad, we have to do it. To distinguish between good and bad people is not a wish for good things. Therefore, the concept of human virtue of Plato comes down to understanding good and choosing the most profitable behavior correctly.
