WHAT DISTINGUISHES KNOWLEDGE FROM MERE TRUE BELIEF? A RESPONSE FROM ALVIN PLANTINGA
Research abstract
THE PURPOSE OF THE PRESENT TEXT IS TO INVESTIGATE THE DEFINITION OF KNOWLEDGE PROPOSED BY ALVIN PLANTINGA. REJECTING THE TRADITIONAL DEFINITION IN WHICH KNOWLEDGE IS DEFINED AS TRUE AND JUSTIFIED BELIEF, THE AUTHOR ARGUES IN FAVOR OF A NEW DEFINITION: KNOWLEDGE IS TRUE AND WARRANTED BELIEF. THUS, WE INVESTIGATE WHAT WOULD BE THE NATURE OF THE WARRANT, AND WHAT ITS MAIN CHARACTERISTICS.
