Research title
What distinguishes knowledge from mere true belief? An answer from Alvin Plantinga.
Research abstract

The aim of this research is to investigate the definition of knowledge proposed by Alvin Plantinga. Rejecting the traditional definition in which knowledge is understood as true and justified belief, the author argues in favour of a new definition: knowledge is true and warranted belief. In this way, we will investigate the nature of warrant, as well as its main characteristics.
