(G. E. Moore and Bertrand Russell)
: What we believe or say is true if it corresponds to the way things actually are – to the facts

* Neo-classical correspondence theory
: A belief is true if there exists an appropriate entity – a fact – to which it corresponds. If there is no such entity (a thing with distinct and independent existence), the belief is false

: What does it mean by knowing something?
: How do we know?
"we can say that truth is a condition of knowledge; that is, if a belief is not true, it cannot constitute knowledge. Accordingly, if there is no such thing as truth, then there can be no knowledge. Even if there is such a thing as truth, if there is a domain in which there are no truths, then there can be no knowledge within that domain. (For example, if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then a belief that something is beautiful cannot be true or false, and thus cannot constitute knowledge.)"]]> 2018-10-29 09:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/297923571 lees35 https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/297924982 2018-10-29 09:56:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/297924982 lees35 https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/297926484 2018-10-29 10:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/297926484 lees35 https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/297927783 2018-10-29 10:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/297927783 lees35 https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/297928177 2018-10-29 10:09:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/297928177 lees35 https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/297928457 2018-10-29 10:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/297928457 lees35 https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/297928827 2018-10-29 10:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/297928827 lees35 https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/298490880 2018-10-30 13:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/298490880 lees35 https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/298490991 2018-10-30 13:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/298490991 lees35 https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/298493048 2018-10-30 13:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/298493048 lees35 https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/298502227 * There are some ideas that replace the existing concept, because it is good

Criticizing
1. Problems with facts
2. Correspondence is never perfect
3. "Truth cannot be determined in isolation"

Coherence Theory
it fits in with our overall set of beliefs

Pragmatic Theory
it is useful or works in practice]]> 2018-10-30 14:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/298529749 lees35 https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/298532884 2018-10-30 14:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/298532884 lees35 https://padlet.com/lees35/vas2g2z4sk67/wish/300394586 - Make sure to distinguish the terms between "good" and "better." Good explanation is not compared by others. It is solely classified as "good" because it still seems fit on the context in community.
-Depending on which AOK you are focusing on, good explanation is defined in different ways. 
For example, scientific explanation requires that the information should be based on prior information. (you should either reject or support the idea) The universal law should follow the support. SOMETIMES, easy explanation enhances the reliability because you are "hooking up" general audiences. Scientists are making sure that people in other area of knowledge could be convinced. (But, before you use this, DEFINE!!)
