If one was lying you wouldn't know and nothing more would be known.
If one was telling the Truth you would have no way of knowing.

I believe that honestly or deception has more to do with the intent of the person saying it rather than reality or truth.

If I tell you the keys are on the table, and I believe it, I am being honest whether or not the keys are actually on the table.

So yes, honesty is possible with respect to there being no 'knowledge'.

if there was no such thing as knowledge, I'd wake up in the morning, try to walk, collapse and smash my head into the corner of my desk, cuz I wouldn't know how to walk.  forget honesty... I'd be dead.

In a universe where there is no such thing as knowledge, it would be impossible to think you have knowledge.

Then I'm glad we're no speaking philosophically about this universe..... because people think they have knowledge.

Also, if we are to assume there are no vehicles..... people would ride horses....

There either is or isn't knowledge. Either you can know things or you cannot. If you can't then what is your definition of what knowledge is?

There either is or isn't knowledge. Either you can know things or you cannot. If you can't then what is your definition of what knowledge is?




huh?  What is the relevance of this question?  You seem to posture it as if there's some contradiction between traditional definitions of knowledge, or those that diecommie urged, and the supposition of a universe with such.  Unfortunately, you don't explain this contention, or whatever the point of your inquiry is if I'm incorrect in my presumption.

To squarely answer your question, knowledge may be defined as usual, the property of understanding ideas or those ideas understood.  To what end do you request this definition though?  I can understand what an orangutang is even if I don't have one, and the idea of an orangutang is just as plausible in a universe with them as in a universe without- you seem to imply that if a property is absent that this somehow renders the definition troublesome, why?
