Knowledge
  • is the primary subject of epistemology
  • on pre-Gettier epistemology, knowledge must satisfy three conditions (often called justified-true-belief JTB for short):
    • belief - existence of a belief (an acceptance that a proposition is true)
    • truth - the belief needs to be true
    • justification - the belief needs to be well supported. otherwise, the belief, even if it is true, may as well be a lucky guess. Thus the belief would be correct without being knowledge
