The JTB Analysis of Knowledge - Epistemology Video 5

Показать описание
This is video 5 in an introductory course on epistemology, the philosophy of knowledge. In this video we discuss the famous Justified True Belief analysis of knowledge. We also see several counterexamples -- so-called Gettier cases -- which appear to show that the JTB analysis does not give sufficient conditions for knowledge.

Something I think is interesting is the case where by chance the clock runs out of battery exactly as I look at it. So if I were to look at it any earlier it would show the right time, any later show the wrong time. If I look at it at exactly the time it stops I am unsure whether I have knowledge or not.

If you have a reliable method to judge what is true or not, make its use the only justification accepted and JTB will work. If you don't have such a method (i doubt it exists) then you can't require the truth of a proposition to be known in order to analyse what is said to be known: you can only protect from common error by requiring that the proposition isn't contradictory with the rest of the knowledge nor have factual evidence against it.

Who decides what is true to judge my beliefs?
