Reply To: Philosophy Question

thechoiceismine:

How can you know something without being able to prove it (at least in your mind – granted you won’t always be able to articulate the proof)? In your example of a headache, the justification is that you feel it hurting. A justification can be a fact.

Your second paragraph is a question on the particular example, not a question on the philosophy. If it makes you happier, just change the ten coins to ten freckles.

Your third paragraph seems to be agreeing with Gettier.

Intellectual pleasure can indeed be life-changing. Especially if I write a dissertation on this topic which becomes accepted. I’ll be famous.
