I've been working through this enjoyable paper a few paragraphs at a time. But since I don't know much about epistemology, I was wondering if you could explain in more detail what "knowledge" is. For example, Sudduth writes:
"First, a person S’s knowing some proposition p entails that p is true. Second, though more controversially, S’s knowing that p entails that S believes or assents to p, perhaps firmly. Third, knowledge is not equivalent to true belief."
Could you explain the difference and overlap between knowledge and belief? I think I have grasped the concept, but I am not completely sure.
