Wouldn't really say definite knowledge is possible. I'd say what we rely on to yield expected results can only be in degrees of sureness. What I do think is that the only thing we can be absolutely sure of is our observation. Person (a) observed Person (b) to exhibit a quality described as (x), or Person (a) observed Newtonian mechanics to successfully launch a space shuttle to the moon can definitely be known by person (a). Even considering illusions or hallucinations, you can still be sure you observed what you observed lol. |
