Knowledge and Belief

When can we claim to know something?
          - When we are able to discuss the specific topic in detail and be able to think critically as well answer questions related to the topic. It includes being able to accumulate your justifications with the proper belief of the topic, proven to be true. However believing is considered to be a psychological/mental state, which doesn't guarantee the truth.

What are the proper reasons?
           - Being able to pass the knowledge on to other people A

Verbs of knowledge :
- Vet
- Känner
- Hved
- Kender
- Weisen
- Know



- What you know is true
- That you believe it (psychological/mental state - however doesn't guarantee the truth )
- That you have the proper justifications to accumulate

One simple, and useful, framework for distinguishing knowledge from belief is the following: 

(1) A belief is an opinion in the absence of supporting empirical evidence; it’s a matter of faith, not reason (it can’t be proved or disproved). 

(2) Knowledge is an opinion also—a working hypothesis—but it’s one for which substantial, public (or potentially public), cogent, empirical evidence exists to support it; that is, knowledge is a conclusion warranted by a preponderance of evidence and experience. 

(3) Knowledge in the sense of infallible apprehension or grasp of reality—what is ontologically “true”—is probably not possible. Instead, knowledge seems always to be contingent: new evidence as it becomes available may further support it or may disprove it.

- How and why is knowledge renewed or reshaped?
- How do we acquire and search for knowledge?
- How do we produce knowledge?
