    True
  • The truth condition in the tripartite view requires the proposition to be factually accurate.

    True
  • The truth condition requires the proposition to be factually accurate
  • What do Gettier problems demonstrate about the tripartite view of knowledge?
    It is not sufficient
  • What does belief require in the tripartite view of knowledge?
    Acceptance of the proposition
  • What is the key issue with justification in Gettier problems?
    It is based on luck
  • Match the alternative approach to knowledge with its description:
    Reliabilism ↔️ Belief formed through a reliable process
    Contextualism ↔️ Justification standards vary by context
    Virtue Epistemology ↔️ Knowledge requires intellectual virtues
  • Order the steps in combining insights from different approaches to knowledge:
    1️⃣ Identify weaknesses of the tripartite view
    2️⃣ Explore alternative approaches
    3️⃣ Evaluate strengths and weaknesses
    4️⃣ Combine insights for a nuanced understanding
  • The first condition of the tripartite view is that the proposition must be true
  • Gettier cases are situations where a person has a justified true belief, but it is still not considered knowledge
  • Virtue epistemology argues that knowledge requires intellectual virtues
  • What is the key issue with Gettier problems in relation to the tripartite view?
    Luck-based justification
  • What must justification provide under the tripartite view of knowledge?
    Reasons or evidence
  • In the tripartite view, truth requires the proposition to be factually accurate and correspond to reality.

    True
  • Gettier problems challenge the tripartite view by showing cases where justified true belief does not equal knowledge.
    True
  • Reliabilism focuses on the causal origin of belief rather than justification.

    True
  • Contextualism may lead to relativism because justification standards vary by context.
    True
  • What does the tripartite view of knowledge define knowledge as?
    Justified true belief
  • What is the third condition of the tripartite view of knowledge?
    Justification
  • What does contextualism suggest about the standards for justification?
    They vary by context
  • Match the condition with its description:
    Truth ↔️ The proposition must be accurate
    Belief ↔️ The person must accept the proposition
    Justification ↔️ The person must have reasons
  • Belief in a proposition means accepting it as part of one's cognitive state.
    True
  • The tripartite view of knowledge defines knowledge as justified true belief
  • Justification in the tripartite view requires evidence to support the belief
  • Gettier problems present situations where justified true belief is not considered knowledge
  • What is the primary goal of alternative approaches to knowledge?
    Address Gettier problems
