yes i know philosophy and TOK (theory of knowledge) are technically very different subjects but sometimes things we say in TOK often stray into my philosophical musings. And so i put to you this question:
Is Understanding fundamental to enjoyment?
For example i dont understand cricket and the rules of cricket and therefore i dont enjoy watching it because i havent a clue whats going on, however i can look at a piece of art and enjoy looking at it but have no clue what the meaning behind it is. But yes understanding the piece of art does often help me enjoy it more (though sometimes understanding it completely ruins the illusion). Many dont understand how their morning muffin is cooked but they definitely enjoy it!!
I havent yet worked out my answer for this question but i just thought i would put it out there and see if it makes you think ....
