บทคัดย่อ

What is knowledge? It has always been considered as the core and fundamental argument in the field of knowledge management study. Through systematically discussing and analyzing philosophy, sociology and knowledge management discourse which formed the foundation of the study of knowledge, this paper reflects that knowledge is a complicated, ambiguous and broad conception, is justified truth belief and can only be understood through an integrated perspective involving both philosophical and sociological positions. Any interpretation of what knowledge is from a single aspect and without considering its philosophical and sociological meanings is preconception.
