Abstract
IN this chapter we have to tie up some loose ends and draw some conclusions from chapters 12–14 with regard to the relation between knowledge and belief. As point of departure for our epistemological inquiry we took the traditional definition of knowledge as ‘justified true belief’. It now appears, however, that there are some difficulties involved in this definition. First of all, we have seen that believing or being convinced is not something that we decide to do or not to do, and hence not an act which we could meaningfully be asked to justify.
