Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, grade: 1.7, University of Luxembourg (Philosophy), course: Introduction to philosophical methodology, language: English, abstract: Is factual knowledge simply having a justified true belief? If not, what is it?
What are necessary and sufficient conditions for a person's having knowledge about something? Finding a generally accepted answer to this question proves itself to be difficult. There have been countless attempts of constructing a definition of knowledge until a trend in the philosophical literature could be identified. From this then a traditional conception emerged, which is widely agreed on and has become the standard definition for knowledge. According to the understanding of knowledge as "Justified True Belief", propositional knowledge exists, when three conditions are all fulfilled:
S knows that p if and only if:
1) S believes that p
2) p is true
3) S is justified in believing that p
The following essay presents different arguments with the intention to lead to an answer to the following questions: Is factual knowledge simply having a justified true belief? If not, what is it? I will argue for the view that having a justified true belief is not sufficient for factual knowledge.
