... Orlovska Lasma 11IB Essay #1 Is there knowledge we should not seek? Or is all knowledge inherently a good thing, and can only persons be harmful? Knowledge itself is actually neutral, it is neither good, nor bad. It can be partially evaluated only after it has been obtained and applied by a person, assessing the means how the knowledge has been obtained and the consequences that have occurred after applying the knowledge. However, even then the evaluation is very subjective, as the criteria of good and bad may vary, depending from the society, which is the judge in most cases, and in fact all the knowledge can be used in both, good and the bad way. As knowledge is neutral, all of it should be sought, but the attention should be paid to the way it is being used. The first step is obtaining the knowledge. Different knowledge can be acquired
