Document Summary
Philosophy and truth - lecture 12: knowledge and justification. Belief and truth are necessary conditions of knowledge, but they are not sufficient. And suppose it happens to be true that. No (even if you accepted pascal"s wager, you would end up believing in god"s existence but not knowing that he existed) Not necessarily (we know some things directly"; example: pains ) Sober"s moral analogy: we sometimes talk about whether actions were morally justified or not, whether you are doing it for moral duty or not, knowledge can be applied to moral duty. One is epistemically justified if one has a right" to believe or if one has fulfilled the duties one owes" to one"s beliefs (or their formation) The jtb theory of knowledge: s knows that p if and only if, 1) p is true, 2) s believes that p, 3) s is justified in believing that p. It"s true, i believe it and there is justification.
