Propositional Knowledge

More about the book

Plato's exploration of knowledge has significantly influenced modern epistemology, particularly the traditional definition of Justified True Belief, which combines truth, belief, and justification. Gettier challenged this definition, prompting post-Gettier philosophers to seek solutions to his problem, yet a robust, Gettier-resistant analysis remains elusive. The Gettier problem highlights the distinction between true knowledge and mere claims of knowledge, suggesting that a singular definition of knowledge is inadequate due to the complexity of propositions. A fresh perspective is needed to redefine knowledge beyond its traditional constraints.
