PHLA10H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 12: Descriptive Knowledge, Green Cheese, Empirical Evidence
Document Summary
Is the part of philosophy that tries to understand the concept of knowing everything it tries to evaluate the common-sense idea that we have knowledge and that we are rationally justified in the beliefs we have. Philosophers who claim that we don"t have any knowledge. Propositional knowledge something that is either true or false. E. g. s knows that the rocky mountains are in north america. Object knowledge relates to object - person, place, or thing. E. g. s knows the president of the united states. Proposition knowledge is not sufficient for object knowledge it requires direct acquaintance with the object. Know-how knowledge something that you know how to do, but you don"t necessarily know how it works. E. g. riding a bicycle does not necessarily mean you need to know the laws of physics of how your weight and pedal works against the gravity. it does not require propositional knowledge.
