... How Much of One's Knowledge Depends on Interaction With Other Knowers? Most of a person's knowledge comes from and depends upon interaction with others. Imagine a person who lives in a small windowless room with black walls and no light or doors, but only a tiny flap that food and drink is given through. How would this person have any knowledge of the outside world? How would he think of things if he knows no language? Would he know that he was a human, or that there were others? He would only know his instincts and would only perform natural primitive behaviors. Another person, raised in the outside world would have knowledge the other does not have, because of how he was taught and what he learned from the world. Also, elders and peers pass on knowledge to younger people. Children go to school and gain knowledge of science, mathematics, history
