Aren’t there analyses of knowledge that do less violence to our intuitions than JTB, but also have about as good a claim to analyze knowledge in terms of a natural property as JTB (e.g. JTB that isn’t based on false grounds)?
If that’s right, then it seems that Weatherson’s defense of JTB in “What Good Are Counterexamples” would motivate a defense of one of these alternative analyses rather than JTB.
I’m going to come back and say a lot more about this. I just wanted to throw this little note out there while I’m thinking about it.
My main reason for being so quick on this, is that I’m testing Google Docs posting to WordPress again.
