It's kinda hard to abandon your worldview to study knowledge, when your paradigm dictates what that knowledge means to you.
I am holding a butter knife to my imaginary 3D-scanner: you have 64px^3 of the resultant image to determine the nature of the object. If you see the tip of my butter knife you'd assume it was a smooth, dull blade with a rounded form. If you saw the middle of the blade you'd know that it was serrated, but would have to speculate about the endpoints and the form of the knife. If you saw the end of the knife, you'd be hard pressed to determine its function; you'd only know that it is rounded, smooth, and roughly 1.5cm thick. Maybe you could guess that it was a knife, but you'd still remain ignorant of its greater nature.
Your knowledge consists of this tiny view of the knife, or else you're privileged to know all knowledge (so that you might approach it without a worldview or paradigm) or to know someone who does.
You cannot study knowledge without studying worldviews, or studying it with a worldview of your own.
