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.
