1)Should a knower´s point of view be considered an asset in the pursuit of knowledge or an obstacle to overcome?

I believe that a knower´s point of view is relative. Therefore I think that it should be taken into account as an asset as well as an obstacle to overcome when pursuing knowledge. On one hand it should be considered an asset since it presumably is the opinion of someone familiar with the subject in topic, someone who has studied it deeply and knows a lot about it. I believe it could be helpful for people who aren’t as well prepared, as the knower is, to consider this person’s point of view in order to expand their knowledge in such matter. On the other hand I think that this knowledge should be analyzed and not taken as a universal truth. People should be able to take this knowledge into account, trying to obtain from it a personal opinion, but not being determined by the knower´s point of view. It is important for sources to be considered as ways of obtaining knowledge, but is as important to question them in order to really obtain it.
