Like I said before you are not paying attention to my points.
For the discussion of all things philosophical, especially articles in the magazine Philosophy Now.

Have you been paying attention to mine Hobbes? In any good philosophy argument, both sides must strive to understand what the other is saying. I have directly addressed your point on induction in knowledge, and pointed out that you are not attacking my actual points of the paper, but things you perceive my paper to be saying. An unintentional straw man, but a straw man nevertheless. You are thinking in terms of YOUR definition of knowledge, when the whole point of the paper is to tackle a new definition of knowledge!Hobbes' Choice wrote:Like I said before you are not paying attention to my points.

Thank you for the feedback and question Necromancer! The idea developed initially from the JTB theory of knowledge, so I am familiar with it and of course, Gettier. The idea proposed here does not start with truth as a prerequisite, simply because it is impossible to do so. I find one must have a theory of knowledge before they can define and attempt to apply that definition to reality.Necromancer wrote:wirius,
how do you relate to the Closure Principle, yours seem to contain it?
Even a subjective experience needs to contain truth in order to be plausible, don't you think? You seem to argue subtly that truth is part despite not writing it. Or, another way, can a theory of knowledge be a theory of knowledge without being true? I mean, subjective experiences can surely be true while being subjective, that is, before the experience is shared with other people to be ascertained to be true.
With Plato we have:
Belief
Fact
Justified True Belief
as parts for a theory of knowledge. How can yours go outside this?
Curious... Either way, you seem to add good description. Well done, wirius!
