Philosophy. Theories of Knowledge. What Is Wrong the Claim That Knowledge Is True Judgment (or Belief)?
Justin Coiscou PHI 332 Course Paper
What is wrong the claim that knowledge is true judgment (or belief)? What is knowledge? What is truth? How can we really know for sure if one judgment holds more truth than another? My theory of knowledge is information passed on from one person to the next. Before I am able to answer the above questions I have asked, the question of this idea that is true knowledge must be defined first. Knowledge can be any new piece of information that I come across daily. The coin phrase “you learn something new everyday” came from the most modest definition of knowledge that I know. So simple it does sound that knowledge is information. A person can have more knowledge than the next and that is how knowledge is spread around. It is up to me to decide if what I hear is truly knowledge. It is up to my on belief or judgment of what is said to me. The claim that knowledge is true judgment is not even true itself. It is impossible to know all truths and impossible to trust that everything I hear is true even if I judge it that way. The Ideas of knowledge and belief go together very well. My theory that knowledge is new information can not be possible without what I am hearing to either be true or false and it is up to me to judge it to be either true or false. If I believe it to be true does not always mean it is true, rather meaning whoever spoke this to me was very convincing of their truth. Knowledge is much more than just true judgment. Knowledge is sacred. The spread of knowledge for the human race has grown traditionally over the years. You can learn from your parents, you can learn from your teachers, and now today with technology we have a source of infinite knowledge. Now today the most common source of knowledge is through the search from computers. Computers are the direct link between humans and technology. Humans created the computer source and designed it to be a tool for learning.
