long ago when i was a sort of analytic philosopher, i gave a series of arguments to the effect that knowledge is merely true belief, that as against most of the tradition, one did not need a justification, good reasons, sufficient warrant and so on to be said to know something. these papers were published in good journals but i never did get the corresponding book manuscript published, and the whole thing appeared to fall on deaf ears after a brief flurry. but more and more there actually does sedem to be some effect! here's one thing, and i'm going to go out and see what's on the net and bring it back. on that deal...i'll do more later, but people's initial response was always that if we're deleting conditions, let's delete the truth conditions. that is a terrible mistake.
