The human mind is shaped by and tied to the language it speaks while communicating with other minds or itself.
We keep asking, “But what does it mean to say I know something?” or “What is knowledge?”. Think about it. What does this question presuppose? It presupposes that there is something called knowledge which we are trying to understand. In a mathematical context, the question “what is X?” is ill-posed unless X has been already defined in some form and now we are either asking for the definition or seeking to express what X is in a different form. When we ask what knowledge is, are we asking about the meaning of the word “knowledge” or the actual thing that this word talks about? Unless we answer the former, the latter is ill-posed. How do we investigate the meaning of words?
