Inaccessief Theory: Plato's Concept Of Knowledge

Life without knowledge would be worthless. Talking about knowledge what i mean is knowledge about something. The description of the state of some object is knowledge. The object may be either abstract or physical. Some examples of abstract things include memory, feelings and time. But how we obtain knowledge? Many philosophers tried to find an adequate answer to this question. They came up with so many theories summarizing the process of knowledge.

In this essay I am going to discuss the concept of knowledge according to Plato’s philosophic conception of knowledge. I will clarify what knowledge is not perception. And from this I will move to explain the justified true belief theory. Then I will show the lack in this theory by referring to counterexamples: the Gettier cases. To end up with a conclusion that states what is my understanding of the process of knowledge.

The JTB theory main argument is that we only know what can be justified. And Plato did not proof that Forms can be justified. Moreover, Gettier cases are counterexample of the JTB theory. His examples become very famous, and because of them most philosophers now accept that JTB is invalid. In each case, the subject appears to have a JTB in a false proposition. In Gettier’s first example, this false proposition is that john is the man who will get the job. I can tell by then that it is possible for me to be justified in believing a false
