Which of the following is NOT an anchor point of empiricism?

P1. Everything we perceive is mind-dependent (as argued above) P2. There are 3 possible causes of these perceptions: Ideas My own mind Another mind Ideas P3. It can’t be ideas, because ideas by themselves don’t cause anything P4. It can’t be my own mind, because if I was the cause of my own perception then I’d be able to control what I perceived. C.

What was Gettier's main argument AGAINST the "Tripartite theory of knowledge"

Justification, Truth and Belief could all be achieved through luck - this does not mean it is knowledge.

A person only has knowledge if it's justifiable (have good reasons), true (no such thing as false knowledge) and they believe in it

What does "No False Lemmas" mean?

A belief is not knowledge if it is based on false premises

A belief is knowledge if it is Justified, True and Believed. (JTB)

This is the main critisism of "Reliabilism"

Reliability is highly subjective and therefore debatable. E.g. someone might think information on the news is a reliable source and someone else might think the news is bias

Other than maths and analytic truths, there are very few substantive propositions which we can know for sure

This is the main critisism of "infallibilism"

Other than maths and analytic truths, there are very few substantive propositions which we can know for sure

Reliability is highly subjective and therefore debatable. E.g. someone might think information on the news is a reliable source and someone else might think the news is bias

What is "virtue epistemology"?

Looking at the person themselves when justifying a belief. E.g. we would give more credit to a scientist when discussing climate change over a politician.

JTB is not sufficient for knowledge - merely believing in something doesn't make it true
