- 1Three types of knowledge?Ability/practical - HOW
Acquaintance - OF
Proposition - THAT - 2Analytic truthTrue in virtue of the meaning of the words
- 3Synthetic truthTrue in virtue of how the world is
- 4Denial of analytic truth vs synthetic truthAnalytic truth: logical contradiction
Synthetic truth: no logical contradiction - 5Necessary truths? Contingent truths?Necessary - must be true therefore analytical
Contingent - might not have been true therefore synthetic - 6A Priori knowledgeKnowledge acquired without experience of the external world (thought alone)
- 7A Posteriori knowledgeKnowledge ONLY acquired from experience of external world
- 8GENERAL belief - relationship of analytical/synthetic truths with a priori/a posteriori knowledgeMost a priori knowledge is knowledge of analytical truths
Most a posteriori knowledge is knowledge of synthetic truths - 9Relationship of analytical/synthetic truths with a priori/a posteriori knowledge in RATIONALISM?Some synthetic truths are a priori
- 10Relationship of analytical/synthetic truths with a priori/a posteriori knowledge in KNOWLEDGE EMPIRICISM?All knowledge of synthetic truths acquired a posteriori
- 11Two types of knowledge in Hume's fork?Relations of ideas (i.e. analytic, a priori)
Matters of fact (i.e. synthetic, a posteriori) - 12Did Hume believe in knowledge empiricism or rationalism?Knowledge empiricism
- 13What is a relation of ideas?either intuitively or demonstratively certain (i.e. an analytical truth)
and discoverable by the mere operation of thought, without dependence on what is
anywhere existent in the universe (hence known a priori) - 14A similarity between analytic truth and relation of ideasBoth cannot be denied without a logical contradiction
- 15What type of truth + knowledge are matters of fact?Synthetic truth - the contrary of a matter of fact does not create a contradiction
A posteriori - require observation to be established - 16Innate knowledge? A priori or a posteriori?Knowledge one is born with, therefore a priori.
- 17Does innatism support rationalism or knowledge empiricism?Rationalism - synthetic truths and/or analytical truth known a priori
- 18Plato's argument for innate knowledge?Meno's slave not taught geometry, therefore does not know geometry.
Socrates draws 2x2ft squares.
Socrates asks Meno a series of questions.
Leads Meno to realise area is 4 feet, despite having no knowledge of geometry. - 19Three criteria for a proposition?1) A justification for the belief.
2) Must be true + correspond to reality.
3) Must be believed. - 20Tripartite definition of knowledge?Justified, true, believed
(JTB) - 21Problems with Tripartite JTB?Accidental correctness
Unreliability of the senses
Limitations of reason
Infinite regress of justifications
