Hi Grey Owl. |

One of the first texts I read that got me interested in philosophy was the Theaetetus by Plato and it posed this very question. It is a question which seems so simple on the face of it and yet the most obvious explanations quickly become mired in paradoxes. |

Hello Grey Owl. |

Well it doesn't just stop at 'knowledge'... |

I use belief not in the meaning of 'faith'... which is unjustified or unreasonable belief or belief without evidence. A belief is simply a mental concept or representation of states and aspects of the world. A belief can always be put into words. We say we "know" things when we ascribe the quality "certainty" to a belief. This is independent of the truth value of the belief we ascribe this quality to. Knowledge is a psychological function. |

Since all of existence is essentially just 1 point stretched infinitely outward in order to perceive itself, we could just say 1+1=1. Since everything is only ever the same 1. |

People have said some really interesting things so far and I do hope this topic doesn't descend into senseless arguments. |

Expand on it? |
|
To be more precise with my difficulty. |
|
A belief is a constituent of ones world view. There's no psychological alternative to beliefs. They are simple mental representations of the experience. Thought models that can be put into words and that enable humans to navigate the world. Faith and knowledge are types of beliefs with specific qualities. |

Grey Owl no problem. |

So to have true knowledge you must be cogniscant of THE absolute truth on a subject I think is what we are saying. A belief cannot factor into knowledge because it's flawed. You can believe that God exists, or that the Holocaust never happened. With both there exhibits a strong arguement that you are wrong. The information against you saying indeed the Holocaust did happen, and the fact that since God is God, you can never truly "know" him/her/it. |
