Ep. 348: Tim Williamson's Knowledge-First Epistemology (Part One)

Tim Williamson, a renowned philosopher specializing in epistemology, joins the discussion to explore knowledge-first epistemology—a radical shift from traditional views. He critiques the conventional understanding of justification, truth, and belief, arguing for a definition of these elements in terms of knowledge itself. The conversation delves into historical perspectives from Plato and Descartes, the implications of the Gettier problem, and challenges related to introspection. Williamson's insights pave the way for a deeper understanding of knowledge in the context of contemporary arguments.
