My perception on Knowledge, Belief and Evidence
If I am asked, What also the true feeling do you contain in order to pick up intimacy? I would answer that in order to have friendship I need good reasons besides true belief. Those reasons should be able to provide enough evidences that would put the belief beyond any reasonable doubt and should be aligned to the efficacy of my senses. Thus, in my idea, I can have knowledge only when it becomes a properly grounded, true belief.When a question like When do you have good reason for doubting that a proposition is true? arises, I would answer that I could have good reason for doubting a proposition to be true, when I would have justifiable evidence intriguing that proposition, to the extent of providing good reasons for not accept the proposition in question. In my view, a proposition should not have any equally unwavering counterpoints (i.e., credible and aligned to my senses) towards establishing its truth.And if some asks me, Is faith a source of knowledge? My answer will b e, No, Faith is not a source of knowledge to me. It is a choice of belief without any reasoning supported by evidence. It cannot be the source of knowledge, because I cannot make something true by believing it to be true. At best, Faith is something that I can induce onto somebody under the parameters of human behavior to get a desired allow for which, again, is dependent on belief backed by reasoning enriched with evidence.Ends
