are not. I know this because of the length of time I have spent acquainting myself with them.Knowledge by introspection is knowledge through examining one’s own feelings. This knowledge includes empathy and conscience as well as introspection. These are all things that we only know if we examine our own feelings. I know that I love my brother. I know this because I have examined my own feelings about being in love and I know that I am.Knowledge through practice is knowledge that was learned through practising something. I know how to sight-read music. I know this because I practised it when I learnt to play an instrument.I agree with Plato’s argument that to know something you must believe it but the argument that it has to be true is a more difficult issue depending on your definition of truth. In my opinion it is this second part of Plato’s theory about true belief that presents the most problems because what is it that makes a statement true? Truth is Public, Truth is independent of anyone’s belief and truth is eternal according to Philosophers who have for many years been debating the issue with Politicians. In my opinion the above statements about truth are an acceptable way of testing how true a statement is but I am very aware of how it may conflict with ways of knowing such as faith. Is a person’s belief in god true if it is not true for everybody? In my opinion, it is but the fact that it is not true for everybody could make it not so under these statements. I am sure there are people who would disagree.In my opinion, although there are points of discussion such as the definition of truth and justification Plato’s ‘Justified True belief’ is a working theory that that can be applied to examples. Plato’s theory has been well respected for due reason for many years and still is today....
