Knowledge
Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness, or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning.
Knowledge
Various attempts have been made in recent years to state necessary and sufficient conditions for someone's knowing a given proposition. The attempts have often been such that they can be stated in a form similar to the following:
(a) S knows that P IFF (i) P is true, (ii) S believes that P, and (iii) S is justified in believing that P.
... These ... examples show that definition (a) does not state a sufficient condition for someone's knowing a given proposition.
