Abstract

The classical analysis of the concept of knowledge is as follows. LetSbe an epistemic subject andpa proposition.Sknows that pif and only if

  1. (1)

    p is true,

  2. (2)

    S believes that p, and

  3. (3)

    S is justified in believing that p.

These considerations were first presented on a workshop on Keith Lehrer’s epistemology and related topics, held at the University of Constance on June 16th, 2000. I am grateful to Keith Lehrer for a discussion of these topics, to Wolfgang Spohn for several valuable remarks, and to Christopher von Bülow for improving my English.
