Okay, what the heck? It's supposed to be the Correspondence Theory of Truth (inspired by Charles Sanders Peirce in the 19th century), Coherence Theory of Truth, which became wildly popular in the 20th century, especially with Quine, and Foundationalism, which has existed as early as Plato's writings, but was made very popular with Descartes' Meditations in First Philosophy. A fourth theory that almost never gets mentioned is Infinitism, but there are also many layers to add to some theories, such as pragmatism, anti-realism, deflationism, etc. This course is just getting so many things wrong. Whether a belief is "wacky" or not isn't how it's determined to be justified or true or not. And justified, true belief or the JTB model died when Edmund Gettier published his paper in 1963, "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?" Philosophers generally agree that Gettier destroyed the JTB knowledge model. It's not that philosophers were arguing all the time and challenging the concept; before 1963, the JTB model was orthodoxy among epistemologists, and Gettier proved you could have a justified, true belief without it agreeing with what we think is "knowledge." If you want to read up on it, just look up a free PDF of "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?" I get that this professor isn't a philosopher, but it's worth telling the people in the comments that if they really want an accurate depiction of what epistemology really is, this isn't the place for it.
Sure, Gettier undermined JTB and left us scrambling for a 4th piece that could give us a complete account of knowledge. But still, in most cases where there's a practical issue, JTB is more than enough, especially for a non-philosopher. @@jackalmighty3840

Knowledge literally cannot be justified true belief because the truth of the proposition is what knowledge attempts to justify. Knowledge is of the value of evidence for a proposition, not the truth of it. If the evidence is sufficient, that's knowledge. If it replicates, that's truth. If we agree, that's reality.

Way to use an objective discussion of the theory of knowledge to make your subjective political view appear to be justified. These are the questions you should ask, professor, if you want to get at the truth: has he used a gun to commit violence in the past ? Is he likely to do it again, unless restrained by force ? Should we wait until he decides to shoot someone else ? Are your laws against war keeping him from invading his neighbors (Iran, Kuwait), or, are they NOT working ? Pragmaticism 101 !

Can someone help me understand how the 'coherent truth' comes into play during 'The invasion on iraq was illegal' debate. Surely you work out that the the corresponding truth would show that by fact it was illegal and after thats been established why would the coherent truth come into play when we already know that its a fact that it was illegal?

I have always considered that there are only two problems in philosophy; the big one, episte, and ethics. I have never had a clue what metaphysics was. Now I know. There is no such thing. Remnants of Plato's theory of forms (an ancient view of the world), the mind/body problem (might have been a problem with Hobbs and Descartes but it is the discipline of neorologists today rather than a philosophical problem) and causality (already solved by Hume). As you point out it is just the book that follows Aristotle's book on physics but has no new material problems. Kant also considered that there were only two problems; episte and ethics. What he termed pure and practical reason and he made a massive contribution to solving both. Both problems have now been solved. Popper has solved the episte problem and law making is not done by reference to Bentham or Kant but by parliament (with debate and scrutiny, consultation with stakeholders, first and second readings, ammendments and second chamber review). I am a big champion of discipline (every other enquiry is a discipline) as in going forward and standing on the shoulders of giants and seeing further. When someone mentions empiricism, rationalism, analytical, continental, ontology, existentialism, phenominology, posivitism and any number or other evolutionary dead-ends I want to scream. Its a discipline stupid. We stand on the shoulders of giants and see further. If others think it is OK to mention seventeenth century empiricism then should we also include animism as a valid here and now talking point. No we should not. We go forward.

The law we live by cannot be qualified as true knowledge. It is a concept which helps people to live peacefully, like a theory. In this case, this theory was proven wrong. The discussion if the invasion of Irak was lawful or not is irrelevant. True law yields the principles only if a legislator can defend or implement it. My conclusion is as fallow the UN council resolution cannot set norms for political or moral judgements as it is an imaginary concept and is not real. The invasion of Irak was true and nobody can deny it.

You're not really walking, the phenomenon of walking occurs and is dependent upon the phenomenon of legs and floor. Do you roughly get my point?

How can you call it living if you don't know what happens when you die? So how do you know it's not subconscious death to be ignorant of the inevitable? If you shut your eyes and then you open them, mortality is still a fact for us humans. If you wanna go as far as making fun of us who have something you don't, a belief in God, as to call it "pretend", then sure - I'd rather choose the rational over the ignorant path. Similarly to my story, I found Jesus when I did research on daesh and some deeper research on Islam about three years ago. It was not easy and I had to do alot of praying from time to time. Basically I came to the conclusion that the most "authentic" divine scriptures were in the Bible, not the Quran and not the Talmud or other mythological books of Asia. It was only one God who actually died for the sins of His creation - not allah akber or buddha krishna nor dalai lama - Jesus Christ was sent for US in the Purest form of flesh and blood. But you wanna neglect that fact because it is not "in" to believe in God - considering we all have a free will to choose our afterlife I can only say: to each his own. God Bless you and may you find the light in the dark world that which - is the Mighty name of Jesus Christ.

He speaks of the U.N. charter being law, and as a treaty is affirmed by the U.S. Constitution. It's a poor example in reality. In the event that a NATO member was invaded by Russia, you would then have conflicting obligations. As a NATO member the treaty obliges the defence of the invaded nation, but Russia would block any motion by the U.N. security council. In like manner, treaties are signed between the U.S. and a multitude of other nations assuring their defence. If China were to invade Japanese territory would it then become illegal for the U.S. To come to Japan's defence, despite her obligation to do so under standing treaty to do so? China would assuredly block any motion in the U.N. I was never in favour of the invasion of Iraq, finding a far greater threat from Iran at the time. However, that's not the issue here, the issue is the example given is more agenda driven, and demonstrates clear political bias on the lecturer's part.

Well! you learn something every day. I thought Epistemology was the study of the effect of alcohol on male undergraduate students.
best lecture
Very good talk.
Thank you ❤️
Thank you sir
Thank you. It's a good lecture.
Appears that truth corresponds with power. Who's right? The one with the *might?*
THE BELIEF THAT IT IS ALL COMPLICATED IS JUST ANOTHER BELIEF.
Every theory of truth begs the question.
Subscribed!

What constitutes as "self-defense" is more or less up to interpretation, which is one reason why lawyers exist. So if the U.S.A had to stand up in front of the U.N and defends its case the representing lawyer ( a good one ) would just have to persuade the jury.
Belief is the black hole of epistemology.
Good show. Where is this being taught at?

In love and in politics, truth is agreement...
What is with this crowd? I would be jumping about going omg LAW OOMG I KNOW I KNOW! Nice Lect.
Knowledge literally cannot be justified true belief because the truth of the proposition is what knowledge attempts to justify. Knowledge is of the value of evidence for a proposition, not the truth of it. If the evidence is sufficient, that's knowledge. If it replicates, that's truth. If we agree, that's reality.
The truth will set/make you free thus enlighten your belief system, to come to the proof that which you see come out of what is unseen.... believing system is a love partner of spiritualism also a cheating partners of reality and TRUTH.
Way to use an objective discussion of the theory of knowledge to make your subjective political view appear to be justified. These are the questions you should ask, professor, if you want to get at the truth: has he used a gun to commit violence in the past ? Is he likely to do it again, unless restrained by force ? Should we wait until he decides to shoot someone else ? Are your laws against war keeping him from invading his neighbors (Iran, Kuwait), or, are they NOT working ? Pragmaticism 101 !
Something can be justified and also true but with the wrong premises. - E.g. if you see your friends car outside of the office and you believe he is there, and he is - but actually that was your boss' new car and your friend walked to work that day.
no, it's not complicated ;)

Can someone help me understand how the 'coherent truth' comes into play during 'The invasion on iraq was illegal' debate. Surely you work out that the the corresponding truth would show that by fact it was illegal and after thats been established why would the coherent truth come into play when we already know that its a fact that it was illegal? Just having some trouble getting my head around it, hope someone can help me out!

He based the war on a claim weather the U.S should go to war if it was lawful or not using the UN charter. There's politics involved when a country goes to war with another country hopefully with good intentions

If the intention is to find Objective Truth- coherence with subjective Truths such as how the US as a society views itself, is irrelevant. Objective truth informs subjective truth not the other way around.

I have always considered that there are only two problems in philosophy; the big one, episte, and ethics. I have never had a clue what metaphysics was. Now I know. There is no such thing. Remnants of Plato's theory of forms (an ancient view of the world), the mind/body problem (might have been a problem with Hobbs and Descartes but it is the discipline of neorologists today rather than a philosophical problem) and causality (already solved by Hume). As you point out it is just the book that follows Aristotle's book on physics but has no new material problems. Kant also considered that there were only two problems; episte and ethics. What he termed pure and practical reason and he made a massive contribution to solving both. Both problems have now been solved. Popper has solved the episte problem and law making is not done by reference to Bentham or Kant but by parliament (with debate and scrutiny, consultation with stakeholders, first and second readings, ammendments and second chamber review). I am a big champion of discipline (every other enquiry is a discipline) as in going forward and standing on the shoulders of giants and seeing further. When someone mentions empiricism, rationalism, analytical, continental, ontology, existentialism, phenominology, posivitism and any number or other evolutionary dead-ends I want to scream. Its a discipline stupid. We stand on the shoulders of giants and see further. If others think it is OK to mention seventeenth century empiricism then should we also include animism as a valid here and now talking point. No we should not. We go forward.

Did the U.N. legalize war ?
The epistemology of the Iraq war is fascinating….in group think, it was the worst mistake in modern history….yet we had the green revolution in 2011, no large scale terrosist attacks, and general pease in the Middle East since then…and the Arab world seems to be doing ok…since when was war ever legal?
Super lecture on epitomilogy. But later deviated into politics i felt
Basicaly, epistemology according to this dude is the result of manipulating public opinion to confirm whatever you want to be the truth.

Hey guys, I believe that his purpose is to enlighten you to understand people's way of thinking hence being able to live more peacefully with the world. The same way I understand your arguments here. Let's be kind to the professor 😊😊
The law we live by cannot be qualified as true knowledge. It is a concept which helps people to live peacefully, like a theory. In this case, this theory was proven wrong. The discussion if the invasion of Irak was lawful or not is irrelevant. True law yields the principles only if a legislator can defend or implement it. My conclusion is as fallow the UN council resolution cannot set norms for political or moral judgements as it is an imaginary concept and is not real. The invasion of Irak was true and nobody can deny it.
Lost me in the devil wears prada .
When my head is buzzed I rub it too!... wait.. what were we talking about?
I don't think you understand what actual truth is. It can't be debated.
Why is it so hard, to simply distinguish between a fact or reality and this bizarre notion that because people believe it, it is true? As an agent moving through the world, I wanna know if something is not true, but people think it is. So why ever bother calling it true? Just say, X people think it is true. Calling it true because it ain’t popular seems…. Dumb. At the beginning, he said we want to know reality. The reality is, it’s not true, although many believe it to be. Saying it IS true is false.

That seems a little short sighted, but I like the idea that no "things" exist without your perception of "things" as things are arbitrary boundaries. For example, you cannot walk without a floor, so hence the floor is walking just as much as you are. You're not really walking, the phenomenon of walking occurs and is dependent upon the phenomenon of legs and floor. Do you roughly get my point? (you should listen to some KZread videos of Alan Watts)

This is incorrect. Epistemology is not limited to a search for a theory of knowledge. We already know that knowledge is an energy, not a theory. D minus. This is an example of sophism.
1stly this isn't about Epistemology, it's a journalism course that touches on epitemology but spent a tremendous mount of time on law. When you offered up truth as correspondence, correlation, and consensus it all required knowledge and belief, absolute truth need neither belief or knowledge much less correspondence, correlation, or consensus. Please note, in relation to the consensus regarding subject war, you only factored in one side of the war, resulting in an incomplete data pool

I'm not impressed with this class either when it comes to epistemology... I agree with his opinion on foreign affairs by the way.. but when it comes to epistimolgy it was very loosely correlated in the class.. This would be a good "ah ha" moment for a foreign affairs class.. How de we know the UN or the constitution should be our presuposition to justifying war.. who cares.. let's examine the processes we use in our mind to examine these things.. Still this is a tough class to teach and i'm not saying I could do it better, but i believe I could, at least according to my standard.. this is a fact, if the standard is set up to be solely conditional to the scope of my standard.. The class started out great though.. thanks for sharing Elina is not a moron in my opinion.. that is a fact/truth if the presuposition is based on my opinion..

Actually, his tone and the spirit of enquiry is exactly what he is supposed to be doing. People do get upset when intelligent people speak in academic environment about politics especially when the speaker is correct.
However I realize that no one can be argued into believing! But like I said if you're truly seeking truth and not some man-made religion or some goofy , dead philosophy, you'll find it! I studied philosophy, and lived many years in unbelief, but I came to a point in which I realized that I couldn't save myself and needed a savior! If you " call " on Christ, he will save you.

How can you call it living if you don't know what happens when you die? So how do you know it's not subconscious death to be ignorant of the inevitable? If you shut your eyes and then you open them, mortality is still a fact for us humans. If you wanna go as far as making fun of us who have something you don't, a belief in God, as to call it "pretend", then sure - I'd rather choose the rational over the ignorant path. Similarly to my story, I found Jesus when I did research on daesh and some deeper research on Islam about three years ago. It was not easy and I had to do alot of praying from time to time. Basically I came to the conclusion that the most "authentic" divine scriptures were in the Bible, not the Quran and not the Talmud or other mythological books of Asia. It was only one God who actually died for the sins of His creation - not allah akber or buddha krishna nor dalai lama - Jesus Christ was sent for US in the Purest form of flesh and blood. But you wanna neglect that fact because it is not "in" to believe in God - considering we all have a free will to choose our afterlife I can only say: to each his own. God Bless you and may you find the light in the dark world that which - is the Mighty name of Jesus Christ.

The Truth I am agree with you
Way too much time wasted on stuff that has nothing ro do with teaching epistemology. Teacher wants to deal with his grudge about the Iraq war. 🤬
Barely touched on epistemology. Almost entirely and unnecessarily political.
Started out very informative on the subject matter. Unfortunately by the 15 minute mark moved into a more politically motivated opinion piece.
He speaks of the U.N. charter being law, and as a treaty is affirmed by the U.S. Constitution. It's a poor example in reality. In the event that a NATO member was invaded by Russia, you would then have conflicting obligations. As a NATO member the treaty obliges the defence of the invaded nation, but Russia would block any motion by the U.N. security council. In like manner, treaties are signed between the U.S. and a multitude of other nations assuring their defence. If China were to invade Japanese territory would it then become illegal for the U.S. To come to Japan's defence, despite her obligation to do so under standing treaty to do so? China would assuredly block any motion in the U.N. I was never in favour of the invasion of Iraq, finding a far greater threat from Iran at the time. However, that's not the issue here, the issue is the example given is more agenda driven, and demonstrates clear political bias on the lecturer's part.
the example is laughably bad
This was ridiculously bad
