65 - The Defeasibility Theory: What is Knowledge?


Listen Later

What is knowledge? What does it mean to know something? Today, we discuss the defeasibility theory, which adds a fourth condition to the famous "justified true belief" analysis of knowledge. We also touch on Gettier cases, certainty, and what contemporary analytic philosophy is all about (the answer may surprise you!). 


For even more epistemology, check out the new series on Counter Apologetics about mistakes atheists often make about epistemology.
