It is a very powerful concept, yet it has no clear definition so far.From the Greek philosophers up to present experts in knowledge man-agement, people tried to define knowledge but the results are still veryfuzzy. This chapter has the intention of showing the most significant as-pects of the dispute over the definition of knowledge, and the main con-ceptual barriers in that endeavor. In the first part of the chapter we dis-cuss about the knowledge nature and the attempts made in epistemologyto define knowledge. The well-known definition that knowledge is justi-fied true beliefis shown to have the limitations given by the justificationcondition and the truth nature. In the second part, we consider the meta-phorical approach to knowledge explanation and we present the mainmetaphors used for knowledge in the managerial literature: knowledge asobjects, knowledge nuggets, knowledge as an iceberg, and knowledge asstocks and flows. In the last part, we introduce a new paradigm of meta-phorical thinking based on the knowledge energy. This metaphor opensnew opportunities for understanding knowledge as a multi-field paradigmcomposed of the rational, emotional, and spiritual knowledge fields....1595836The Elusive Definition of knowledge103103https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-elusive-definition-of-knowledge/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/370593/324e8aab-6b23-450d-b668-1112ff6e24e8.jpg?v=638334427309000000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20231230006281663_W3siaWQiOiJmNjE5MTA5My1kODJhLTRmNDEtYmU5Ny0zNmFlZDg0ZWY5ZDgiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjEwNSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjAsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6MTA1LCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiSXBwIiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNC0wOC0yM1QxMDowMDowMFoiLCJ0byI6IjIwMjQtMDktMTVUMjM6NTk6NTlaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX0seyJpZCI6Ijg5OWQ3MmM1LTJjNmItNDU5My1iYzFiLTcwOGU0Y2QxYTMxOSIsImxpc3RQcmljZSI6OTcsImRpc2NvdW50IjowLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjk3LCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiSXBwIiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNC0wOS0xNlQwMDowMDowMFoiLCJyZWdpb24iOiJNWCIsImlzUHJlb3JkZXIiOmZhbHNlfV0=1230006281663_Knowledge is an abstract concept without any reference to the tangibleworld.
