PHL 1004 - Theory of Knowledge

Institution:

Manhattanville College

Subject:

Description:

Philosophy is commonly divided into four parts: Logic, Ethics, Metaphysics and Epistemology. This course provides an elementary overview of ‘Epistemology,' the classical Greek term for Theory of Knowledge. 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.
