What is knowledge of knowledge?
Plato famously defined knowledge as "justified true belief."
Bertrand Russell's "Theory of Knowledge" illustrates the difficulty in defining knowledge:
"At first sight, knowledge might be defined as belief which is in agreement with the facts.
The trouble is that no one knows what a belief is,
- no one knows what a fact is, and
- no one knows what sort of agreement between them would make a belief true. "
