Can Knowledge Be Justified True Belief?
نویسنده
چکیده
Knowledge was traditionally held to be justified true belief. This paper examines the implications of maintaining this view if justication is interpreted algorithmically. It is argued that if we move sufficiently far from the small worlds to which Bayesian decision theory properly applies, we can steer between the rock of fallibilism and the whirlpool of skepticism only by explicitly building into our framing of the underlying decision problem the possibility that its attempt to describe the world is inadequate. Can Knowledge Be Justified True Belief?

A Trial Separation between the Theory of Knowledge and the Theory of Justified Belief
In his 1963 article, “Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?” Edmund Gettier devised a pair of counterexamples designed to illustrate that knowledge cannot be adequately defined as justified true belief. The basic idea behind both of his counterexamples is that one can be justified in believing a falsehood P from which one deduces a truth Q, in which case one has a justified true belief in Q but d...

متن کاملInformation and Knowledge: Combining Justification, Truth, and Belief
Knowledge of a statement exists when the statement is true, it is believed, and it is justified. While there are somewhat unusual situations where the justified, true, belief model does not produce what some consider to be knowledge, this definition of knowledge serves as an adequate model for most purposes. Information being produced by processes is examined, and then expanded to show how diff...
متن کاملA Pragmatic Solution to the Value Problem of Knowledge
We value possessing knowledge more than true belief. Both someone with knowledge and someone with a true belief possess the correct answer to a question. Why is knowledge more valuable than true belief if both contain the correct answer? I examine the philosophy of American pragmatist John Dewey and then I offer a novel solution to this question often called the value problem of knowledge. I pr...
متن کاملJustified True Belief Triggers False Recall of "Knowing"
Philosophers traditionally held that knowledge is justified true belief. Gettier (1963) challenged this view with thought experiments in which someone has a justified and true belief, but an element of luck is involved that disqualifies the belief from counting as knowledge. We examined laypeople’s concept of knowledge using a semantic integration paradigm modeled after that of Gentner (1981). ...
