A Gallery of Example Theories of Knowledge
[edit | edit source]A number of complete theories of knowledge are presented here as examples for you to study, learn from, compare, or use as a starting point for developing your own theory of knowledge.
- "I believe what is real" is a simple statement establishing a theory of knowledge.
- This essay on Choosing my beliefs presents the instructor’s current theory of knowledge. It has evolved from a previous version that is quite lengthy because it includes tutorial and explanatory information.
- This concise example is adapted from the book Leaving Truth[1]. It is brief and elegant, but may require more explanation or expansion before you become comfortable adopting it.
- Visitor "Jeff" described how he understands how he understands, based on connecting the dots. This theory leverages the belief that: “All true statements about the world can consistently be affirmed together” [2]
- Willie Robertson has stated publicly: "I Believe What The Bible Says."[3]
- We welcome your contributions to this gallery. If you develop a new theory of knowledge as a result of this course, we invite you to link it here. Please add it to the list just above this entry, and Thanks!
