2021-12-12 at 2:54 AM UTC in knowledge is bullshit
Originally posted by Meikai Reading the wiki page on Gettier (like I said, my brain is smooth and smol) and like… kinda laughing. Fuck, smart people are dumb.
"Smith knows that it rained today"
A subject S knows that a proposition P is true if and only if:
P is true
Literally right out the gate with "you can know P is true by knowing P is true".
I mean truth is usually not the controversial criterion for knowledge, it’s kinda just in there for completeness. The problem, as you’ve probably read, is around the relationship between justification and truth.
On the other hand though, I think it’s worth at least considering if we could be said to know untrue things without reducing knowledge to mere belief. E.g. we might say Newton knew about the motion of bodies even if Newtonian physics is now understood to fail to account for some phenomena.
Which I guess is to say we might usefully take knowledge not to be a binary relation between subjects and true propositions but a quantity measuring the efficacy of a subject’s beliefs in predicting or manipulating its environment.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
