1.1.4 Issues with the tripartite view:

Cards (62)

  • The tripartite view of knowledge is also known as the JTB theory.
  • What three conditions must a belief satisfy to count as knowledge under the tripartite view?
    True, justified, believed
  • Match the issue with its description:
    Gettier Problem ↔️ True, justified belief may not be knowledge due to luck
    Regress Problem ↔️ Justification requires infinite further justification
    Circularity Problem ↔️ Justification relies on unproven premises
  • The issues with the tripartite view suggest it fully captures the nature of knowledge.
    False
  • The justification condition in the JTB theory requires that a belief must be supported by good evidence.

    True
  • What is the primary challenge posed by the Gettier Problem to the tripartite view of knowledge?
    Luck can undermine knowledge
  • The Gettier Problem arises in scenarios where true, justified belief fails to be genuine knowledge.
  • Match the issue with its description:
    Gettier Problem ↔️ True and justified belief fails due to luck
    Subconscious Knowledge ↔️ Knowledge without explicit belief
  • List the three conditions required for knowledge according to the tripartite view in their correct order.
    1️⃣ True
    2️⃣ Justified
    3️⃣ Believed
  • The Gettier Problem suggests that the tripartite view may not fully capture the nature of knowledge.

    True
  • The Gettier Problem shows that true and justified beliefs are always sufficient for knowledge.
    False
  • Pragmatism suggests that truth is determined by the practical consequences of holding a belief.

    True
  • Pragmatism suggests that truth is determined by the practical consequences of holding a belief.
    True
  • Order the alternative views to the JTB theory based on their focus:
    1️⃣ Reliabilism
    2️⃣ Virtue Epistemology
    3️⃣ Contextualism
    4️⃣ Fallibilism
  • Virtue epistemology suggests that intellectual virtues are necessary for knowledge.

    True
  • What is the Gettier Problem, and why is it significant?
    Challenges JTB with luck
  • What is the belief condition in the tripartite view of knowledge?
    Belief must be true
  • Subconscious knowledge suggests that explicit belief is always necessary for knowledge.
    False
  • Reliabilism states that knowledge requires a reliable process
  • Match the alternative views with their key ideas:
    Reliabilism ↔️ Knowledge requires a reliable process
    Virtue Epistemology ↔️ Knowledge requires intellectual virtues
    Contextualism ↔️ Standards for knowledge vary
    Fallibilism ↔️ Justification does not require certainty
  • Alternative views and revisions to the tripartite view aim to address its issues.
  • Belief alone is sufficient for a belief to count as knowledge under the JTB theory.
    False
  • The regress problem suggests that justification requires endless further justification.
  • What does the truth condition in the JTB theory require?
    Belief must correspond to reality
  • The Gettier Problem highlights that a belief can be true and justified but still not count as genuine knowledge.
  • Who introduced the Gettier Problem?
    Edmund Gettier
  • One of the key issues with the tripartite view of knowledge is the belief
  • The tripartite view of knowledge states that a belief must be true, justified, and believed
  • The Regress Problem in justification leads to an infinite loop
  • In the JTB theory, a belief must be supported by good reasons or evidence
  • Relative truths are truths that vary based on individual or cultural beliefs
  • Relative truths lack objectivity and consistency
  • Circular reasoning occurs when justification relies on premises that are themselves in need of justification
  • Match the alternative view with its description:
    Reliabilism ↔️ Knowledge is justified true belief produced by a reliable process
    Virtue Epistemology ↔️ Knowledge requires intellectual virtues like critical thinking
    Contextualism ↔️ Standards for knowledge vary based on context
    Fallibilism ↔️ Justification does not require certainty
  • The truth condition requires that a belief must correspond to reality
  • What is an example of subconscious knowledge that challenges the belief condition of the JTB theory?
    Skilled pianist using theory
  • The Gettier problem demonstrates that justified true belief can still fail as knowledge
  • What does the tripartite view fail to fully capture about the nature of knowledge?
    Complexity of belief
  • Pragmatism suggests that truth is determined by the practical consequences
  • The circularity problem arises when justification relies on premises that are themselves in need of justification.
