The Degrees of Knowledge

The degrees of knowledge refer to different levels of understanding or certainty about a particular fact or truth. They range from mere awareness or belief, where you think something might be true, to justified true belief, which is when you not only believe something is true but also have solid reasons backing that belief. At the highest level, knowledge implies absolute certainty and evidence that supports it beyond doubt. These distinctions help clarify how confidently we can claim to know something and differentiate between mere opinions, guesses, and well-supported truths.
