PHL.1004 Theory of Knowledge

Philosophy is commonly divided into four parts: Logic, Ethics, Metaphysics and Epistemology. 145Epistemology' is the classical Greek term for Theory of Knowledge, and this course provides an elementary overview of this aspect of Philosophy. Since Plato many philosophers have held that knowledge is definable in terms of true belief based upon adequate evidence. We will examine this thesis, and will also examine the three concepts from which it defines knowledge: truth, belief, and adequate evidence.
