Description: Defining Knowledge by Stephen Hetherington This Element asks whether modalized epistemology - proposing and debating modally explicable conditionals with suitably epistemic content, as needing to be added to true belief in order to define or understand knowings nature - can succeed. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Post-Gettier epistemology is increasingly modalized epistemology – proposing and debating modally explicable conditionals with suitably epistemic content (an approach initially inspired by Robert Nozicks 1981 account of knowledge), as needing to be added to true belief in order to define or understand knowings nature. This Element asks whether such modalized attempts – construed as responding to what the author calls Knowings Further Features question (bequeathed to us by the Meno and the Theaetetus) – can succeed. The answer is that they cannot. Platos and Aristotles views on definition reinforce that result. Still, in appreciating this, we might gain insight into knowings essence. We might find that knowledge is, essentially, nothing more than true belief. Table of Contents Preface; 1. A Quest; 2. An Hypothesis; 3. Modalized Epistemology; 4.
