Roderick Chisholm on Knowledge - Dictionary of Arguments
I 63 Knowledge/Antiquity/Chisholm: knowledge requires an identity between the knowing and the known object - Chisholm dito primary form of reference requires identity: self-attribution. >Self-attribution. I 142f Knowledge/Cognitive theory/Chisholm: from pondering what is more sensible: trust cognitive abilities until objections are present. epistemically clear: if unquestioned by unjustified (weak) epistemically acceptable: more rational than the contrary. I 146 Epistemic Principle 6: something is epistemically clear if it is epistemically acceptable. Epistemic Principle 7: in self-presenting property: if clear and considered, then evident - then contact with reality. I 148 Epistemic Principle 8 Principle of perception: if epistemically clear, then beyond reasonable doubt that subject perceives something which is F when properties are mutually supportive themselves, then evident that subject is something w. what F is - (but not as F, e.g. thief) - therefore not de re. >de re, >de dicto. -- II 89 Immanent knowledge/Gombocz: is only believed knowledge and not a known knowledge like with a transcendent being. Mediate minimal knowledge: W1) justified by exactly one truth that it is true - indirect ignorance: of less than one truth. Minimal Knowledge: a person knows that he/she believes at least one truth is justified. II 92 Socrates: "I know that I know nothing: common sense: he knows much more: e.g.: the name of his wife, etc. Vs: there is no Gettier-justification for that (bona validitate, not only bona fide). It is about that he believes his proposition justified, whether he knows them or not. Wolfgang L. Gombocz. Maxima. In: M.David/L. Stubenberg (Hg) Philosophische Aufsätze zu Ehren von R.M.
