What Confucius meant by saying, "Shall I tell you what knowledge is? It is to know both what one knows and what one does not know, " is that "<u>knowledge is not just what individuals know alone, but also knowing that there is some knowledge, they don't know</u>."
In other words, while the general understanding of knowledge is the information acquired either through training, experience, or education. Confucius is saying true knowledge goes beyond information acquired alone.
According to him, knowing that there is still knowledge out there one is yet to know is knowledge itself.
For example, having information about Asia and its people is knowledge. However, knowing or understanding that there is still a continent out there called Africa, but you admit that you don't know anything about the place or its people is also knowledge.
Therefore, combining the knowledge of what you know and what you admit you don't know is real knowledge, according to Confucius.
