What does the Wikipedia know, and how can it know it? More to the point, how can anyone using an anonymously edited source, the contents of which change on a daily basis, know that what they are reading constitutes knowledge? In this provocative challenge to contemporary concepts of objectivity, four figures of knowledge - the Wikipedia, scientific experiments, anonymous peer review, and school education - are investigated in order to question the way we understand the world around us.
