Answer all parts (A through E); each part 2 points; 10 points in total.Do not think about it as an elaborate essay. Rather the point of this exercise is to identify answers in the homework assignments you did so far and then to expand on them by explaining them and providing necessary examples. Essentially, your job is to connect the dots given in multiple choice questions and to explain the connections.You have indefinite amount of time and indefinite amount of attempts to do this “essay”. It is due on Saturday. I suggest you type your answers using your favorite word processor and then copy them in the blackboard form.Main readings: * Sencerz, Philosophical Methods * Truncellito, “Epistemology” http://www.iep.utm.edu/epistemo/Supplementary reading:* Stephen Hetherington, “Gettier Problems” https://www.iep.utm.edu/gettier/(a very clear explanation of Gettier Problem (including multiple examples) and a review of possible solutions to it)* Matthias Steup, “The Analysis of Knowledge” http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/knowledge-analysis/* Peter Klein, “Skepticism” http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/skepticism/Part A: (2 points) Explain the idea of analytic definition. How are they different from stipulations (stipulative definition)? Under what conditions the definition is correct. Explain using some convincing examples. (You can use examples discussed in our reading and on handouts.) Part B: (2 points) Philosophers distinguish three different kinds of knowledge; namely, knowledge by acquaintance; knowledge as a skill (procedural knowledge); and propositional knowledge. Very briefly explain these three kinds of knowledge. Illustrate your explanations with convincing examples. Part C: (2 points) Traditionally; propositional knowledge is defined as the conjunction of three conditions. Namely, someone knows that something is the case if and only if one has a belief that it is the case, this belief is justified; and it is true. This is, so called, the “JTB” definition of propositional knowledge (i.e., knowledge as a justified true belief). For example: Stef knows that he had a banana for breakfast =def.i) Stef beliefs that…ii) Stef has a justification that…iii) This belief is true (i.e., Stef had a banana for breakfast).Briefly explain each component of this definition (i.e., what it meant to believe, what it means that belief is justifies, and what it means that it is true). Illustrate your explanations with convincing examples. PART D: (2 points) What is Gettier’s challenge to the traditional (JTB) analysis of knowledge. Explain what Gettier-like examples show. Use an example if it helps your explanation. PART E: (2 points) One possible answer to Gettier-like examples is that, in order to have knowledge, an agent must not reason through any false belief. Is this answer plausible or not? Explain using a convincing example.A better explanation answer to Gettier challenge is to add to the definition the clause that there is no defeater to the agent’s justification and belief. Explain using a convincing example.
