: Re: "No longer knowing" vs "without knowing...anymore." I think this is a common problem I have. I always find myself debating whether I should write a sentence as "no longer knowing" or "without

The difference in emphasis:

no longer knowing is more about passage of time - you forgot, or the facts changed and your former knowledge is now obsolete, or there were some events in the past that took that knowledge away from you. The moment when you stopped knowing could be quite distant.

not knowing anymore is about loss - confusion, changes, learning new (contradictory) facts. It's usually about losing that knowledge quite recently, and not through natural process of forgetting, but by it being invalidated by developments.

A person who just forgot is no longer knowing. A person who got very confused, doesn't know anymore.
