Fido, you seem to be saying that acknowledging "we do not know" is not knowledge. Fact is, it may be the most certain of all supposed "knowledge" we humans have.
To be Frank; and sceptical, it is the admission of human ignorance that is at the root of what we do know, can count on, and to an extent, verify... Our problems do not result from what we can know, but what we can never know, and yet must act on the presumption of knowing... All true forms and ideas represent some bit of knowledge that is finite, and definable... All moral forms, what some may properly call transendent concepts, like: God, or Existence, or Justice, or Liberty, or Happiness are at times a spur in our sides, and a thorn in our collective foot... No matter how many examples of justice we may see, justice is infinte, and so nothing from the past will tell us what justice will be tomorrow... And that knowledge, of what we may know and never know is lost to most people because most people seem to want it one way or the other, to say we can never know anything, or that we can know everything... In fact, if you and I dispute about justice we should first decide how much we want the other in our lives, and how important is our mutual survival, and settling that, arriving at a definition of justice between ourselves should be easy... Moral forms are defined as needed, and otherwise are nothing but pain and headache to those who think we should all already know what they are... What is the situation??? Who are the players??? What is the problem??? Do you know what I mean???
