On today’s episode…CATS. Also: Hank talks about some philosophy stuff, like a few of the key concepts philosophers use when discussing belief and knowledge, such as what defines an assertion and a proposition, and that belief is a kind of propositional attitude. Hank also discusses forms of justification and the traditional definition of knowledge, which Edmund Gettier just totally messed with, using his Gettier cases.
Many thanks to Index the cat for his patience in the filming of this episode.

CORRECTION: We talk about the work of Edmund Gettier in this video and the photo we use is not of Edmund Gettier! Somehow, the internet used a wrong picture once and now everywhere you look, the same picture of this false Edmund Gettier appears. You can see his real face here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Gettier
someone knew what they were doing when they used 420 geese as an example
In order to know something, don’t you need to have proof that it’s true, not just justification that it is?
This channel is awesome
was NOT expecting the tiktok legend Hank to show up
I like the intro theme music for this course!!
if we knew what the swans were why would anyone question there colour?
John: Cats! My heart: !!!!!
Hi Michael
All my right answers in objective type exams are gettier cases
Blew my mind to hold the pace
这集完全被猫吸引lolol
Is this right???
1.) Assertion = A specific type of statement, one that you declare has a truth value.
2.) Truth Value = A classification of a statement being one of these 3 things… True, False, Indeterminable.
Example: Plato is a man. You are making a statement (obviously) that declares a truth value of whether or not the subject (Plato) is a man.
3.) Proposition = My understanding is that a proposition in the traditional sense is… A specific type of statement, one that you PROPOSE has a truth value. The difference being here that you don't necessarily believe it yourself but are being open and unbiased about what the truth value of a statement could potentially be. However, this video says that a proposition is the underlying content of what your assertion is. That makes me think it is like the subject of your assertion. Which is kind of confusing… Is a proposition in philosophy terminology different than in English terminology?
Example: You meet a man that you suspect could secretly be an alien. You propose to a friend that this man Socrates could be an alien. You are making a specific type of statement that has a truth value that Socrates could be an alien.
Assertion= Is
Proposition= Could be???
10 gold coin in pocket, why will one apply for job 😉
I suspect this is due to the abridged nature of this show, but I come out of this episode thoroughly unpersuaded by the Gettier cases presented here as an argument against justified true belief as a definition of knowledge. After all, the core of these cases is that the justification is valid but unsound due to false premises. Recursively requiring knowledge of the premises disqualifies these examples. However, we don't have a clear way of acquiring any knowledge at all now. I don't personally accept either definition of knowledge, but it was kind of surprising not to see the obvious objection addressed in this video. Perhaps it will be in the next?
Congrats. Easy to grasp content, but not watered down as majority of videos does with philosophy, and a good pace.
Where my IB alumni at?? You know the pain and love of theory of knowledge
Cat: why am I philosophical props
The meaning of knowledge : a waste of time because if you die you don't remember it poddomts
6:49–8:00. A lot of people need to see this.
