Plato's Definition of Knowledge
Why can we not define knowledge as "true belief"?
Consider the following scenario:
• Suppose your friend leaves the house and tell you
that she is going out for a smoke.
• Suppose that you believe that she is outside
smoking.
• Suppose that she actually is outside smoking.
• Thus you have a true belief that she is outside
smoking.
Do you know that she is outside smoking?
