Yan Jing-qiang · Ziran bianzhengfa yanjiu · 2008
Gettier's counterexamples showed that the traditional definition of knowledge can't grasp really the relation between knowledge and true belief.The present methods to solve Gettier's counterexamples take on their merits respectively,but can't accomplish the task,too.We draw a necessary distinction between belief reasons and truth reasons,and consider the fundamental cause of Gettier's counterexamples is separation of the two former reasons.At last,we put forward the practical definition of knowledge,unite the two former reasons on the basis of practices,and solve the problem of the relation of knowledge and true belief.
