Knowledge - 知識

知っているものと知らないものを区別するのが知識。知らないものを知ろうと努力するのが学問。知らない事を知らず知らず、知っているごとくに云々するのは無知。知らない事を自身知りながら知ったかぶりするのは無恥。

Making a clear distinction between what one knows and does not know is knowledge.  Making an effort to know what one does not know is learning. Making a statement unknowingly about what one does not know as if one does is ignorance. Making a statement knowingly about what one does not know as if one knows is shamelessness.
