• What is the tripartite theory of knowledge?


  Justified, true belief:

  s knows p iff: p is true, s is justified in believing p, s believes p.

  Conditions are jointly sufficient and individually necessary for a knowledge claim to occur.
• what is the reliabilist approach to knowledge?

  Reliabilism is the the theory that: beliefs must be formed by a reliable cognitive process, therefore it must produce a high proportion of true beliefs.

  jtb becomes: s knows p iff: p is true, s believes p, s’ belief in p is formed by a process which frequently yields truth.
• What are the sensitivity and no relevant alternatives conditions for reliabilism?

  Sensitivity conditions: s would not belief p if it were false

  no relevant alternatives: there are no relevant alternatives to p being true.
• What is infallibilism? 


  This position of knowledge says the justification for a belief must be so strong that it cannot be rationally doubted. This theory can secure knowledge against gettier counterexamples because it restricts knowledge to that which is infallible, this overcomes these counterexamples because there is room for doubt in all of the cases inciuding fake barns country.
• what are some issues with adopting infallibilsim?


  Sets the bar too high; limits what can constitute as knowledge too far to the point where we only know a small amount of things,

  can lead to scepticism (extreme doubt).
• What is the no false lemmas theory of knowledge?

  Seeks to avoid granting knowledge where the premises are false.

  requires both the conclusion and the premises to be true for something to count as knowledge.

  Overcomes gettier counterexamples because this theory would not consider them to be knowlede since they are bases on false premises.

  Unsuccessful with Fake barns country because there are no false premises involved so technically no false lemmas could count it as knowledge.
• What is virtue epistemology theory of knowledge?


  knowledge is a true belief brought about by a virtuous intellectual disposition. accuracy, adroitness, and aptness.
