Justified true belief

Questions in Philosophy, Sober describes both the Justified True Belief of Knowledge and the Reliability Theory of Knowledge. In this paper, I will examine and compare both theories while each one has differences and similarities, both display the understanding of a fact equally. The Justified True Belief of Knowledge states that for any fact, it must be true or false. Whereas, the Reliability Theory of Knowledge states that the fact cannot be proven to be true or false. Combined, both theories…

are the facts that humans thought they knew. Over the years, countless theories about knowledge arose until one definition of knowledge became widely recognized: Justified, True, Belief. The concept of justified, true, belief is centered around conditions that must be fulfilled in order for someone to know…

saying we are born knowing certain things, to everything we learn comes from experience. Each of these have different arguments to them, however, they each have a different idea of the basic definitions of knowledge and belief. There are also the questions of whether or not beliefs are rational, and is knowledge justifiable. The standard definition of knowledge is “information, understanding, or skill that you get from experience or education.” (knowledge." Merriam-Webster.com.…

knowledge, knowledge is Justified True Belief. Hence, one must first justify their belief before they can acquire any knowledge. Since most of the time the beliefs we assume we have justified and are justified based on other belief. Consequently, this promotes the concept of regress argument where the philosophers are on the quest to truly justify a belief thus we can know for sure that we have knowledge. Coherentist attempts to solve the regress problem by suggesting a system of beliefs where…

far more than true opinion. To answer this, Socrates tells Meno that true opinion becomes knowledge through thought and recollection of what is true. Thus, true opinion is an unjustified belief while knowledge is a justified belief. So knowledge, in being justified, is more valuable than opinion. But what makes knowledge justified and what is justification? Socrates claims that true opinion becomes knowledge when one provides a reason for why the opinion is true. In other words, true opinion…

justification plausible? When it comes to the acquisition of a true belief leading to knowledge, it is thought that these beliefs should be justified. Coherentism is a form of internal, non-linear justification which holds the idea that for a belief to be justified in any way it must cohere with a current system of beliefs. BonJour wrote that 'what justifies beliefs is the way they fit together' , in essence, for beliefs to be justified they must metaphorically form a lattice like structure,…

that “One is justified in believing a proposition p iff: the evidence one has supports p (to a sufficiently high degree)”. So, what if (in response to the case of the ‘Headstrong Physicist’), the physicist’s evidences have sufficiently high degree of belief. If so, it’s possible that the physicist knows that his colleague’s criticisms won’t affect his degree of belief on his evidences too much. And hence, his degree of belief in his evidences is still sufficient to say that he is justified in…

as ‘justified true belief’: S knows that P if and only if (i) P is true, (ii) S believes that P, and (iii) S is justified in believing that P. Each of these three conditions (truth, belief, and justification) is necessary for knowledge, and altogether they are jointly sufficient for having knowledge. As a counter to JTB, Edmund Gettier posed a serious challenge when he introduced the Gettier problem. The Gettier problems are cases of situations in which a person has a justified true belief…

novel raises the question, “What is true?”. Through analyzing this novel, it is clear the author believes that the happening-truth of a story is far less important than the emotional-truth. “The Man I Killed” is one of the central chapters of the novel. However, only a few chapters later, O’Brien reveals that the events of that chapter hadn’t actually happened. Though the chapter specifically said that Tim…

Is there a difference between justified true belief and knowledge? For the philosopher Plato, these terms defined knowledge, until the philosopher Edmund Gettier proposed the contrary. Gettier suggested the knowledge is more than true justified and belief, so according to Gettier Plato’s theory does not define knowledge, because true, belief and justification can be satisfy. However, it does not exactly mean knowledge. Knowledge from my point of view is more complex than what Plato proposed. In…
