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
